[Verse 1] 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 Sheikh he drove his Cadillac He went a cruisin down the ville The Muezzin was astanding On the radiator grille [Chorus] Shareef dont like it Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah Shareef dont like it Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah [Verse 2] 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 kettle drum The local guitar picker Got his guitar pickin thumb As soon as the Shareef Cleared the square They began to wail [Chorus] Shareef dont like it Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah Shareef dont like it Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah [Verse 3] Now over at the temple Oh! They really pack em in The in crowd say its 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 [Chorus] Shareef dont like it Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah Shareef dont like it Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah [Verse 4] 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 As soon as the Shareef was Out of their hair The jet pilots wailed [Chorus] Shareef dont like it Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah Shareef dont like it Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah [Outro] Shareef dont like it Thinks its not kosher Rockin the Casbah Rock the Casbah Shareef dont like it Fundamentally cant take it Rockin the Casbah Rock the Casbah Shareef dont like it You know he really hates it Rockin the Casbah Rock the Casbah Shareef dont like it Really, really hates it
