Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah - The Clash (碰撞樂隊)

Now the king told the boogie men

You have to let that raga drop

The oil down the desert way

Has been shakin' 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

The sharif don't like it

Rockin' the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

The sharif don't like it

Rockin' 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 kettle drum

The local guitar picker

Got his guitar picking thumb

As soon as the sharif

Had cleared the square

They began to wail

The sharif don't like it

Rockin' the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

The 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

The temple band took five

The crowd caught a whiff

Of that crazy Casbah jive

The sharif don't like it

Rockin' the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

The 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

The sharif don't like it

Rockin' the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

The sharif don't like it

Rockin' the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

Rock the Casbah

He thinks it's not kosher

Rock the Casbah

The sharif don't like it

Fundamentally he can't take it

Rockin' the Casbah

The sharif don't like it

You know he really hates it
