text: 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 a-standin
  On the radiator grille
  The sharif dont like it
  Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah
  The sharif dont 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 kettle drum
  The local guitar picker
  Got his guitar picking thumb
  As soon as the sharif
  Had cleared the square
  They began to wail
  The sharif dont like it
  Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah
  The sharif dont like it
  Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah
  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!
  The sharif dont like it
  Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah
  The sharif dont 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 sharif was chauffeured outta there
  The jet pilots tuned to the cockpit radio blare
  As soon as the sharif was outta their hair
  The jet pilots wailed
  The sharif dont like it
  Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah
  The sharif dont like it
  Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah
  The sharif dont like it 
  Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah
  The sharif dont like it 
  Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah
  The sharif dont like it 
  Rockin the Casbah, rock the Casbah
