By [Am]order of the prophet,[Em]
"We [G]ban that boogie sound![Dm](clap,clap)
De[Am]generate the faithful[Em]
with that [G]crazy Casbah sound."[Dm](clap,clap)
But the [Am]Bedouin, 
they brought out the [Em]electric camel drum.
The [G]local guitar picker 
got his [Dm]guitar picking thumb.
As [Am]soon as the Shareef 
had [Em]cleared the square,
[F]They began to wail-a-[F]ail-ail! (Ohhh!!!)

Now [Am]over at the temple[Em]
Oh, they [G]really pack em in.[Dm]
The [Am]in crowd say, "It's cool,[Em]
to dig this [G]chanting thing!"[Dm]
But as the [Am]wind changed direction[Em]
and the [G]temple band took five[Dm]
The [Am]crowd got a whiff[Em]
of that [F]crazy Casbah [F]jive!!!

The [Am]King called up his jet fighters,[Em]
He said, "[G]You better earn your pay - ay.[Dm]
Drop [Am]your bombs down between the Minarets[Em],
down the [G]Casbah way - yay."[Dm]
As [Am]soon as the Shareef 
was [Em]chauffeured out of there,
the [G]jet pilots tuned to the 
[Dm]cockpit radio blare.
As [Am]soon as the Shareef 
was [Em]outta their hair,
The [F]jet pilots wail – [F]ail - ailed.(Ahhh!!!)
