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-standin'
On the radiator grille

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef 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 camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

Now over at the temple
Ooh, they really pack 'em in
The in-crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing

But as the wind changed direction
And the temple band took five
The crowd caught a whiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef 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 shareef
Was chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare
As soon as the shareef
Was outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

The shareef don't like it (He thinks it's not kosher)
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

The shareef don't like it (Fundamentally can't take it)
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

The shareef don't like it (You know he really hates it)
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby you're the best

I wasn't looking
But somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love-light
But like heaven above me
The spy who loved me
Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight

And nobody does it better
Though sometimes I wish someone could
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why'd you have to be so good?

The way that you hold me
Whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from running
But just keep it coming
How'd you learn to do the things you do?

And nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby baby
Darling you're the best
Baby you're the best

Mother told me, yes, she told me
That I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, "Stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch"
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's going round

Your Mommy's all right
Your Daddy's all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, heeeeeey

Father says, "Your mother's right
She's really up on things
Before we married, Mommy served
In the WACS in the Philippines"
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited
Old maids for the war
But mommy isn't one of those
I've known her all these years

Your Mommy's all right
Your Daddy's all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, heeeeeey

Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking
Here'd they disappear?
But when I woke up, Mom and Dad
Are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rollin'
Got my
Your Mommy's all right
Your Daddy's all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, heeeeeey

Away
Away

Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
(repeat to fade)

When people keep repeating that you'll never fall in love
When everybody keeps retreating, but you can't seem to get enough
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door to your heart

Let my love open the door, ooh
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door, ooh
Let my love open the door

When everything feels all over, everybody seems unkind
I'll give you a four-leaf clover, take all worry out of your mind
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door to your heart

Let my love open the door, ooh (To your heart)
Let my love open the door, ooh
Let my love open the door, ooh
Let my love open the door, ooh

The only key to your heart
That can stop you from falling apart
Try today, your finest way
Come on and give me a chance to say
Let my love open the door, it's all I'm living for
Release yourself from misery
There's only one thing gonna set you free
That's my love, that's my love

Let my love open the door (To your heart)
Let my love open the door (To your heart)
Let my love open the door (To your heart)
Let my love open the door

When tragedy befalls you, don't let it drag you down
Love can cure your problems, you're so lucky I'm around
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door to your heart

Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow
Fame

Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane
Fame

Fame, what you like is in the limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame

Fame, "Nien! It's mine!" is just his line
To bind your time, it drives you to crime
Fame


Really be, really, babe?
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe?
Really, really?
Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool?
Fame

Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on pain
Fame

Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame

Fame
What's your name?


Brings so much pain?

We hear you're leaving, that's okay
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kinda scared yourself, you turned and ran
But if you have a change of heart

Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

I have a friend in town, he's heard your name
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games, I don't know
And you could have a change of heart

Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind
But if you have a change of heart

Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

Rikki, don't lose that number
(Rikki, don't lose that number)
Rikki, don't lose that number

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out, had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
Seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind

In between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out, had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind

Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We could've made it cruising, yeah

...
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

Oooh, oh oh
Oooh, oh oh
Oooh, oh oh
Oooh, oh oh

Once I had a love and it was gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind

In between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do

(da da da...)

You got me running, going out of my mind You got me thinking that I'm wasting my time Don't bring me down No, no, no, no, no, ah-ooh-hoo I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor Don't bring me down. You wanna stay out with your fancy friends I'm telling you, it's got to be the end Don't bring me down No, no, no, no, no, ah-ooh-hoo I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor Don't bring me down. Don't bring me down, Groos Don't bring me down, Groos Don't bring me down, Groos Don't bring me down. What happened to the girl I used to know? You let your mind out somewhere down the road Don't bring me down No, no, no, no, no, ah-ooh-hoo I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor Don't bring me down. You're always talking 'bout your crazy nights One of these days, you're gonna get it right Don't bring me down No, no, no, no, no, ah-ooh-hoo I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor Don't bring me down. Don't bring me down, Groos Don't bring me down, Groos Don't bring me down, Groos Don't bring me down. You're looking good, just like a snake in the grass One of these days, you're gonna break your glass Don't bring me down No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ah-ooh-hoo I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor Don't bring me down.

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor Don't bring me down.

I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against
The child in your face
Won't escape my attention

You keep your distance with a system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much
Oh, you're wasting my time
You're just, just, just wasting time

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out
'Till I'm head over heels
Some-thing happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away
Throw it away
Throw it away

I made a fire, I'm watching it burn
With thought of your future
With one foot in the past, now just how long will it last
Now, now, now, have you no ambitions...
My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean air (living with changes with those)
And dreaming I'm a doctor (nothing can stand it)
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand (they can't stop those changes)
Oh I feel so

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out
'till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away

And this is my four-leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four-leaf clover
La, la-la la-la
La, la-la la-la...

In my mind's eye
One little boy, one little man
Funny how, time... flies...

Don't wannna discuss it
Think it's time for a change
You may get disgusted
Start thinkin' that I'm strange

In that case I'll go underground
Get some heavy rest
Never have to worry
About what is worst or what is best
(Get it)

Oh oh Domino (it's all right)
Roll me over, Romeo, there you go
Lord, have mercy
I said oh-oh, Domino
Roll me over, Romeo, there you go
Say it again
I said oh-ooh-oh Domino
I said oh-ooh-ooh-oh Domino
(Dig It)

[Instrumental]

There's no need for argument
There's no argument at all
And if you never hear from him
That just means he didn't call
Or vice versa
That depends on where ever you're at
(All right)
And if you never hear from me
That just means I would rather not

(Hit it)
Oh oh Domino
(All right)
Roll me over Romeo, there you go
Lord have mercy
I said, oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo, there you go
(Hey, all right)
Say it again
Oh-oh-ooh-ooh Domino
(Hey, hit it)
I said oh-ooh-ooh Domino

Well, Mr. DJ I just wanna hear
Some rhythm and blues music
On the radio
On the radio
On the radio

Uh-uh, all right
Uh-uh, all right
Uh-uh, all right
Uh-uh

Hear the band

[Instrumental]

One more time

[Instrumental to end]
