Rock The Casbah - Richard Cheese

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 sheik he drove his Cadillac

He went a' cruisin' down the ville

The muezzin was a' standing

On the radiator grille

CHORUS

Sharif don’t like it Rockin the casbah

Rock the casbah

Sharif 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 kettle drum

The local guitar picker

Got his guitar picking thumb

As soon as the sherif

Had cleared the square

They began to wail

CHORUS

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

The crowd caught a wiff

Of that crazy Casbah jive

CHORUS

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

Chorus

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
