F7Now, the king told the boof7gie men,
--More--(4%)G7           g7   
you have to let that raga drop.
The F7oil down the desef7rt way
has been G7shaking to thg7e top.
The F7sheik he drove hif7s cadillac
he went a G7cruisin downg7 the ville.
The F7Muezzin was a staf7nding
On the C7+radiator grille.

chog7rus:     Shareef doF7n't G7like it.
f7Rock the CC7+asbah. f7Rock the CasbaF7h.
Shg7areef don't like it.F7    G7  
f7Rock the C7+Casbah. f7Rock the CasF7bah.

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 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 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.

Chorus to extro.
