The Clash - Rock the Casbah (Live at Shea Stadium) lyrics

[The Clash - Rock the Casbah Live at Shea Stadium lyrics]

"Rock the Casbah, Rock the Casbah"

Now the king told the boogie men
You let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Shaken to the top
The Sheikh he drove his Cadillac
Cruisin' down the ville
Muezzin was a'standing on radiator grille

Shareef 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 crazy Casbah sound
Bedouin they brought out electric camel drum
Local guitar picker
Got his guitar pickin' thumb


Soon as the Shareef cleared the square
They began to wail

Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah (rock the Casbah)
Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah (rock the Casbah)

By or at the temple, yoooo!
Oh! They really pack 'em in now
The in crowd say it's cool boy
Dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
And the temple band took five
Crowd caught a whiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah
Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah

The king called up his jet fighters
"You better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way" as soon as the Shareef
Chauffeured outta there the jet pilots tuned
Cockpit radio blare
As soon as the Shareef was quit the square
They begin to wail

Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah
Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah

(Shareef don't like it) he hates that!
(Rockin' the Casbah rock the Casbah)
(Shareef don't like it) he hates that!
(Rockin' the Casbah rock the Casbah)
