Rock the Casbah Lyrics & Tabs by Pato Banton
Rock the Casbah
guitar chords lyrics
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 sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille
Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah
Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah
By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
The bedouin they brought out the electric kettle 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 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 wiff
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 he 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
You know he really hates it!
