Rock the Casbah - Remastered

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 sheik he drove his Cadillac, he went a-cruising down the ville

The muezzin was a-standing on the radiator grille, ow!

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 and the temple band took fire

The crowd caught a whiff, 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 he can't take it)

Rockin' the casbah, rock the casbah

Shareef don't like it (you know he really hates it)

Rockin' the casbah, rock the casbah

Shareef don't like it (he really, really hates it)

Rockin' the casbah, rock the casbah
