Lyrics Rock The Casbah - Richard Cheese

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
