Am7Now, the king told the Em7boogie men,
you have to G7let that raga drop. Dm7
The Am7oil down the desert way Em7
has been G7shaken to the top. Dm7
The A7sheik he drove his cadillaEm7c
he went a G7cruisin down the villDm7e.
The Am7Muezzin was a standing Em7
On the Fradiator grille.
chorus:

Em7Rock the FCasbah. Em7Rock the CCasbah.
ShDm7areef don't like it.Am7 G7
Em7Rock the FCasbah. Em7Rock the CCasbah.
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 had cleared the square,
They began to wail.
chorus
Now Am7over at the temple
Oh, they really pack em in.
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing.
But as the Fwind changed direction
and the temple band took five G7
The cAm7rowd got a whiff
Of that crazy casbah jive.
chorus
The king called up his jet fighters,
He said, you better earn your pay.
Drop your bombs down between the minarets
Down the casbah way.
As sson as the Shareef was chauffered out of there,
The jet pilote tuned to the cockpit radio blare.
As soon as the Shareef was outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed.

He thinks it’s not kosher
Fundamentally he can’t take it.
You know he really hates it.
