Rock The Casbah |
Now the king told the boogie men |
You have to let that raga drop |
The oil down the desert way |
Has been shakin' to the top |
The sheik he drove his Cadillac |
He went a' cruisin' down the ville |
The muezzin was a' standing |
On the radiator grille |
CHORUS |
Sharif don’t like it Rockin the casbah |
Rock the casbah |
Sharif don’t like it Rockin the Casbah |
Rock the Casbah |
By order of the prophet |
We ban that boogie sound |
Degenerate the faithful |
With that crazy Casbah sound |
But the Bedouin they brought out |
The electric kettle drum |
The local guitar picker |
Got his guitar picking thumb |
As soon as the sherif |
Had cleared the square |
They began to wail |
CHORUS |
Now over at the temple |
Oh! |
They really pack 'em in The in crowd say it’s cool |
To dig this chanting thing |
But as the wind changed direction |
The temple band took five |
The crowd caught a wiff |
Of that crazy Casbah jive |
CHORUS |
The king called up his jet fighters |
He said you better earn your pay |
Drop your bombs between the minarets |
Down the Casbah way |
As soon as Sharif was |
Chauffeured outta there |
The jet pilots tuned to The cockpit radio blare |
As soon as Sharif was |
Outta their hair |
The jet pilots wailed |
Chorus |
Sharif don’t like it Rock the casbah |
(He thinks it’s not kosher) |
Rock the casbah |
Sharif don’t like it Rock the Casbah |
(Fundamentally he can’t take it.) |
Rock the Casbah |
Sharif don’t like it Rock the Casbah |
(You know he really hates it.) |
Rock the Casbah |
