Karaoké Rock the Casbah The Clash

Now the king told the boogie men

You have to let that raga drop

The oil down the desert way has been shakin' to the top

The sheikh he drove his Cadillac

He went cruisin' down the ville

The muezzin was a' standing on the radiator grill, aow

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

I 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 five

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
