Rock the Casbah - Remastered Lyrics
Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert wayHas been shakin` 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
Shareef don`t like it
Rockin` the casbah
Rock the casbah
Shareef don`t 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 camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Cleared the square
They began to wail
Shareef don`t like it
Rockin` the casbah
Rock the casbah
Shareef don`t like it
Rockin` the casbah
Rock the casbah
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
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy casbah jive
Shareef don`t like it
Rockin` the casbah
Rock the casbah
Shareef don`t 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 shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare
As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed
Shareef don`t like it
Rockin` the casbah
Rock the casbah
Shareef don`t like it
Rockin` the casbah
Rock the casbah
Shareef don`t like it (He thinks it`s not kosher)
Rockin` the casbah
Rock the casbah
Shareef don`t like it (Fundamentally can`t take it)
Fundamentally he can`t take it.
Rockin` the casbah
Rock the casbah
The shareef don`t like it (You know he really hates it)
Rockin` the casbah
Rock the casbah
