Brokedown Palace movie - Rock the Casbah lyrics

rate me

Song by Solar Twins<br /><br>

Now the king told the boogie men<br>

You have to let that raga drop<br>

The oil down the desert way<br>

Has been shakin' to the top<br>

The shiek he drove his Cadillac<br>

He went a' cruisnin' down the ville<br>

The muezzin was a' standing<br>

On the radiator grille<br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

The shareef don't like it<br>

Rock the Casbah<br>

Rock the Casbah<br>

The shareef don't like it<br>

Rockin' the Casbah<br>

Rock the Casbah<br>

<br>

By order of the prophet<br>

We ban that boogie sound<br>

Degenerate the faithful<br>

With that crazy Casbah sound<br>

But the Bedouin they brought out<br>

The electric camel drum<br>

The local guitar picker<br>

Got his guitar picking thumb<br>

As soon as the shareef<br>

Had cleared the square<br>

They began to wail<br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

<br>

Now over at the temple<br>

Oh! They really pack 'em in<br>

The in crowd say it's cool<br>

To dig this chanting thing<br>

But as the wind changed direction<br>

The temple band took five<br>

The crowd caught a wiff<br>

Of that crazy Casbah jive<br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

<br>

The king called up his jet fighters<br>

He said you better eaarn your pay<br>

Drop your bombs between the minarets<br>

Down the Casbah way<br>

As soon as the shareef was<br>

Chauffeured outta there<br>

The jet pilots tuned to<br>

The cockpit radio blare<br>

As soon as the shareef was<br>

Outta their hair<br>

The jet pilots wailed<br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

<br>

He thinks it's not kosher<br>

Fundamentally he can't take it.<br>

You know he really hates it.<br>

<br>

<br>
