Lyrics

Now, the king, he told the boogie men
 You have to let that raga drop
 The oil down the desert way
 Has been shaken to the top
 The sheik, he drove his Cadillac
 He went a-cruisin' down the ville
 The muezzin was a-standin'
 On the radiator grille
 Sharif don't like it
 Rocking the Casbah
 Rock the Casbah
 Sharif don't like it
 Rocking the Casbah
 Rock the Casbah
 By order of The Prophet
 Ban that boogie sound
 Degenerate, unfaithful
 With that crazy Casbah sound
 The Bedouin they brought out
 The electric kettle drum
 The local guitar picker
 Got his guitar picking thumb
 As soon as the sharif
 Had cleared the square
 They began to wail
 Sharif don't like it
 Rocking the Casbah
 Rock the Casbah
 Sharif don't like it
 Rocking the Casbah
 Rock the Casbah
 Now over at the temple
 Ooh, they really pack 'em in
 The in-crowd say it's cool
 To dig this chanting thing
 But as the wind changed direction
 And the temple band took five
 The crowd caught a whiff
 Of that crazy Casbah jive
 Sharif don't like it
 Rocking the Casbah
 Rock the Casbah
 Sharif don't like it
 Rocking 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 sharif
 Was chauffeured outta there
 The jet pilots tuned to
 The cockpit radio blare
 As soon as the sharif
 Was outta their hair
 The jet pilots wailed
 Sharif don't like it
 Rocking the Casbah
 Rock the Casbah
 Sharif don't like it
 Rocking the Casbah
 Rock the Casbah
 Sharif don't like it (He thinks it's not kosher)
 Rocking the Casbah
 Rock the Casbah
 Sharif don't like it (Fundamentally can't take it)
 Rocking the Casbah
 Rock the Casbah
 Sharif don't like it (You know he really hates it)
 Rocking the Casbah
 Rock the Casbah
