Rock The Casbah
Lyricist:Mick Jones, John Mellor
Now the king told the boogie men You have to let that raga drop The oil down the desert way Has been shaking to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac He went a-cruising down the ville The muezzin was a-standing On the radiator grille
Sharif don't like it Rocking the Casbah Rock the Casbah Sharif don't like it Rocking 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 sheriff Had cleared the square They began to wail
Sharif don't like it Rocking the Casbah Rock the Casbah Sharif don't like it Rocking 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The crowd caught a whiff Of that crazy Casbah jive
Sharif don't like it Rocking the Casbah Rock the Casbah Sharif don't like it Rocking 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 Sharif was Chauffeured outta there The jet pilots tuned to The cockpit radio blare
As soon as Sharif was Outta their hair The jet pilots wailed
Sharif don't like it Rocking the Casbah Rock the Casbah Sharif don't like it Rocking the Casbah Rock the Casbah
Sharif don't like it Rock the Casbah (He thinks it's not kosher) Rock the Casbah
Sharif don't like it Rock the Casbah (Fundamentally he can't take it) Rock the Casbah
Sharif don't like it Rock the Casbah (You know he really hates it) Rock the Casbah
