Intro:   ...   2x Now the king told the boogie men you have to let that raga drop. The oil down the desert way    has been shaking 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.   chorus:   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 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 had cleared the square   They began to wail.   Chorus                              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 five   The crowd got a whiff   Of that crazy casbah jive.   Chorus                           The king called up his jet fighters   He said you better earn your pay.   Drop your bombs down between the minarets   Down the casbah way.   As sson as the Shareef was chauffered out of there   The jet pilote tuned to the cockpit radio blare.   As soon as the Shareef was outta their hair   The jet pilots wailed.   Chorus to extro.
