[Verse 1]Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga dropThe oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the topThe Sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisin' down the villeThe muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille
[Chorus]The Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the CasbahRock the Casbah
[Verse 2]By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie soundDegenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah soundBut the Bedouin they brought outThe 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
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thingBut as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your payDrop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah wayAs soon as the Shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare
As soon as the Shareef was
Out of their hair
The jet pilots wailed
[Chorus]
He thinks it
