Am7 Em7 the oil down the desert way G7 Dm7 has been shaken to the top . A7 Em7 the sheik he drove his cadillac G7 Dm7 he went a cruisin down the ville . Am7 Em7 the muezzin was a standing F on the radiator grille . Chorus : Dm7 Am7 G7 shareef don’t like it . Em7 F Em7 C rock the casbah . rock the casbah . Dm7 Am7 G7 shareef don’t like it . Em7 F Em7 C rock the casbah . rock the casbah . 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 Am7 now over at the temple oh , they really pack Em in . the in crowd say it’s cool to dig this chanting thing . F but as the wind changed direction G7 and the temple band took five Am7 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 . chours x 2 he thinks its not kosher fundamentally he cant take it . you know he really hates it .
