The Clash- Rock The Casbah

Lyrics Below: Now the king told the boogie males You have to let that raga drop The oil down the desert way Has been shakin’ to the best The sheik he drove his Cadillac He went a’ cruisin’ down the ville The muezzin was a’ standing On the radiator grille CHORUS Sharif do not like it Rockin the casbah Rock the casbah Sharif never 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 electrical kettle drum The nearby guitar picker Got his guitar choosing thumb As quickly as the sherif Had cleared the square They began to wail CHORUS Now more than at the temple Oh! They really pack ‘em in The in crowd say it really is cool To dig this chanting thing But as the wind altered course The temple band took five The crowd caught a wiff Of that crazy Casbah jive CHORUS The king called up his jet fighters He said you better make your pay Drop your bombs among the minarets Down the Casbah way As quickly 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 Chorus Sharif don’t like it Rock the casbah (He thinks it really is not kosher) Rock the casbah Sharif do not like it Rock the Casbah (Fundamentally he cannot take it.) Rock the Casbah Sharif don’t like it Rock the Casbah (You know he genuinely hates it.) Rock the Casbah
