The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rockin' the Casbah
Rockin' the Casbah
But the Bedouin they brought out
Oh, they really pack 'em in
Rockin' the Casbah
The electric camel drum
On the radiator grille
Rockin' the Casbah
The jet pilots tuned to
Rockin' the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
As soon as the shareef
Of that crazy Casbah jive
The shareef don't like it
As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
Over at the temple
The local guitar picker
Down the Casbah way"
The cockpit radio blare
Outta their hair
The king called up his jet fighters
Rockin' the Casbah
Rockin' the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rockin' the Casbah
Rockin' the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
The shiek, he drove his Cadillac
Rockin' the Casbah
Rockin' the Casbah
The jet pilots wailed
Rockin' the Casbah
The crowd caught a wiff
He said, "You better earn your pay
Degenerate the faithful
The muezzin was a' standing
Rockin' the Casbah
The oil down the desert way
To dig this chanting thing
We ban that boogie sound
Has been shakin' to the top
He went a' cruisnin' down the ville
With that crazy Casbah sound
But as the wind changed direction
Had cleared the square
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rockin' the Casbah
By order of the prophet
Rockin' the Casbah
Drop your bombs between the minarets
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rockin' the Casbah
Rockin' the Casbah
Got his guitar picking thumb
Rockin' the Casbah
The in crowd say it's cool
Rockin' the Casbah
Rockin' the Casbah
The temple band took five
As soon as the shareef was
Rockin' the Casbah
Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
They began to wail
The shareef don't like it
The shareef don't like it
