Lyrics

[00:17.05] Now the king told the boogie men
[00:20.76] You have to let that raga drop
[00:24.86] The oil down the desert way
[00:28.21] Has been shakin\' to the top
[00:32.33] The shiek he drove his Cadillac
[00:35.66] He went a\' cruisnin\' down the ville
[00:39.71] The muezzin was a\' standing
[00:43.12] On the radiator grille
[00:47.27] The shareef don\'t like it
[00:51.18] Rockin\' the Casbah
[00:53.00] Rock the Casbah
[00:54.74] The shareef don\'t like it
[00:58.61] Rockin\' the Casbah
[01:00.46] Rock the Casbah
[01:02.03] By order of the prophet
[01:05.84] We ban that boogie sound
[01:09.62] Degenerate the faithful
[01:12.82] With that craazy Casbah sound
[01:17.05] But the Bedouin they brought out
[01:18.86] The electric camel drum
[01:20.74] The local guitar picker
[01:22.34] Got his guitar picking thumb
[01:24.61] As soon as the shareef
[01:26.39] Had cleared the square
[01:28.28] They began to wail
[01:46.78] Now over at the temple
[01:50.99] Oh! They really pack \'em in
[01:54.15] The in crowd say it\'s cool
[01:57.52] To dig this chanting thing
[02:01.30] But as the wind changed direction
[02:04.92] The temple band took five
[02:09.04] The crowd caught a wiff
[02:12.63] Of that crazy Casbah jive
[02:31.18] The king called up his jet fighters
[02:34.54] He said you better eaarn your pay
[02:38.51] Drop your bombs between the minarets
[02:41.88] Down the Casbah way
[02:46.20] As soon as the shareef was
[02:48.27] Chauffeured outta there
[02:49.91] The jet pilots tuned to
[02:51.87] The cockpit radio blare
[02:53.78] As soon as the shareef was
[02:55.68] Outta their hair
[02:57.45] The jet pilots wailed
[03:17.98] He thinks it\'s not kosher
[03:24.90] Fundamentally he can\'t take it.
[03:32.70] You know he really hates it.
