Lyrics
Now the king told the boogie man
You have to let that ragga 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 mullah was a-standing
On the radiator grille
Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the Kasbah, rockin' the Kasbah
Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the Kasbah, rockin' the Kasbah
By order of the prophet
We banned that boogie sound
He generated the faithful
With that crazy Kasbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The 'lectric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar pick and thumb
As soon as the sheriff
He cleared the square
They began to wail
Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the Kasbah, rockin' the Kasbah
Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the Kasbah, rockin' the Kasbah
Now over at the temple
Oh they're really backin' in
The imam say it's cool
To dig this chantin' thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wave
Of that crazy Kasbah jive
Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the Kasbah, rockin' the Kasbah
Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the Kasbah, rockin' the Kasbah
The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better end your play
Dropped the bombs between the minarets
Down the Kasbah way
As soon as the sheriff
Was shot the out of there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare
As soon as the sheriff
Was out of their hair
The jet pilots wailed
Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the Kasbah, rockin' the Kasbah
Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the Kasbah, rockin' the Kasbah
Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the Kasbah, rockin' the Kasbah
Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the Kasbah, rockin' the Kasbah
Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the Kasbah, rockin' the Kasbah
Sharif don't like it
Rockin' the Kasbah, rockin' the Kasbah
