Artist/Band: The Clash
Lyrics for Song: Rock The Casbah
Lyrics for Album: The Singles [1991]



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 a cruisin' down the ville

The Muezzin was a standing, on the radiator grill



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 banned 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 Sharif, had cleared the square

They began to wail



Sharif don't like it

Rockin' the Casbah, Rock the Casbah

Sharif don't like it

Rockin' the Casbah, Rock the Casbah



Now over at the temple, oh, they really packed '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



Sharif don't like it

Rockin' the Casbah, Rock the Casbah

Sharif 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 Sharif, was chauffeured outta there

The jet pilots tuned to the cockpit radio blare

As soon as the Sharif, was outta their hair, the jet pilots wailed



Sharif don't like it

Rockin' the Casbah, Rock the Casbah

Sharif don't like it

Rockin' the Casbah, Rock the Casbah



Sharif don't like it

He thinks it's not kosher

Rockin' the Casbah, Rock the Casbah

Sharif don't like it

Fundamentally can't take it

Rockin' the Casbah, Rock the Casbah

Sharif don't like it

You know he really hates it

Rockin' the Casbah, Rock the Casbah

Sharif don't like it

Really, really hates it

Rockin' the Casbah, Rock the Casbah
