1. Now, the king told the boogie men,
               G7  Dmi7
   you have to let that raga drop.
       A7  Emi7
   The oil down the desert way
            G7  Dmi7
   has been shaking to the top.
       A7                       Emi7
   The sheik he drove his cadillac
             G7                  Dmi7
   he went a cruisin down the ville.
       A7  Emi7
   The Muezzin was a standing
          Fmaj7
   On the radiator grille.

R: Shareef don't like it.
   Emi7      Fmaj7  Emi7          A7
   Rock the Casbah. Rock the Casbah.
    Dmi7             A7 G7
   Shareef don't like it.
   Emi7     Fmaj7   Emi7        A7
   Rock the Casbah. Rock the Casbah.
   
2. 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.

R: Shareef don't like it...

3. 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 got a whiff
   Of that crazy casbah jive.

R: Shareef don't like it...

4. 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 Shareefwas outta their hair
   The jet pilots wailed.

R: Shareef don't like it...
