[Dm] But the [Am]Bedouin they brought out
The e[Em7]electric camel drum
The [G]local guitar picker

Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool

[Dm] Drop your [Am]bombs between the minarets
[Em7] Down the [G]Casbah way"
[Dm] As [Am]soon as the Sharif was
[Em7]Chauffeured outta there
The [G]jet pilots tuned to
The [Dm]cockpit radio blare
As [Am]soon as the Sharif was
[Em7]Out of their hair
The [F]jet pilots wailed
