  S1:
  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 Sheikh he drove his Cadillac 

  He went a' cruisin' down the ville 

  The Muezzin was a'standing 

  On the radiator grille

  S2:
  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 pickin' thumb 

  As soon as the Shareef cleared the square 

  They began to wail

  S3:
  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 caught a whiff 

  Of that crazy Casbah jive

  S4:
  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 out of their hair 

  The jet pilots wailed

  Shareef don't like it, thinks it’s not kosher 

  Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah 

  Shareef don't like it, fundamentally 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
