Rock the Casbah - Remastered

Lyrics

Now, the king 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-cruising down the ville
 The muezzin was a-standing on the radiator grille, ow!
 The shareef he don't like it
 Rockin' the casbah, rock the casbah
 The shareef he 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 camel drum
 The local guitar picker got his guitar picking thumb
 As soon as the shareef cleared the square they began to wail
 The shareef he don't like it
 Rockin' the casbah, rock the casbah
 The shareef he don't like it
 Rockin' 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 and the temple band took fire
 The crowd caught a whiff, of that crazy casbah jive!
 The shareef he don't like it
 Rockin' the casbah, rock the casbah
 The shareef he don't like it
 Rockin' 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
 Soon as the shareef was outta their hair, the jet pilots wailed
 The shareef don't like it
 Rockin' the casbah, rock the casbah
 The shareef don't like it
 Rockin' the casbah, rock the casbah
 The shareef don't like it (he thinks it's not kosher)
 Rockin' the casbah, rock the casbah
 The shareef don't like it (fundamentally he can't take it)
 Rockin' the casbah, rock the casbah
 The shareef don't like it (you know he really hates it)
 Rockin' the casbah, rock the casbah
 The shareef don't like it (he really, really hates it)
 Rockin' the casbah, rock the casbah
