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 shiek he drove his cadillac
he went a' cruisnin' down the ville
the muezzin was a' standing on the radiator grille

the shareef don't like it
rockin' the casbah
rock the casbah
the shareef 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 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

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
the king called up his jet fighters
he said you better eaarn 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

he thinks it's not kosher fundamentally he can't take it. you know he really hates it.
