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
