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
 Shareef don't like it
 Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah
 Shareef don't like it
 Rock the Casbah, Rock the Casbah
 By order of the prophet
 We ban that boogie sound
 Degenerate the faithful
 With that craazy Casbah sound
 But the Bedouin they brought out the electric camel drum
 The local guitar picker got his guitar-picking thumb
 As soon as the Shareef had cleared the square
 They began to wail
 Shareef don't like it
 Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah
 Shareef don't like it
 Rock the Casbah, Rock the Casbah
 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
 Then the temple band took five
 The crowd caught a wiff
 Of that crazy Casbah jive
 Shareef don't like it
 Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah
 Shareef don't like it
 Rock the Casbah, Rock the Casbah
 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 the Shareef was chauffeured outta there
 The jet pilots tuned to the cockpit radio blare
 As soon as the Shareef was outta their hair
 The jet pilots wailed
 Shareef don't like it
 Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah
 Shareef don't like it
 Rock the Casbah, Rock the Casbah
 Shareef don't like it, he thinks it's not kosher
 Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah
 Shareef don't like it, fundementally can't take it
 Rock the Casbah, Rock the Casbah
 Shareef don't like it, you know he really hates it
 Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah
 Shareef don't like it, really, really hates it
