One Night In Bangkok
Bangkok!
Oriental setting
And the city dont know what the city is getting
The crйme de la crйme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner
Time flies doesnt seem a minute
Since the Tyrolean spa has the chess boys in it
All change domt you know that when you
Play at this level theres no ordianry venue
Its Iceland or the Philippines or Hastings or this place
One night in Bankok and the worldss your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls aint free
Youll find a god in every golden cloister
And if youre lucky then the gods a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One town is very like another
When you heads down over your pieces brother
Tea girls warm and sweet (warm sweet)
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
Get Thaid youre talking to a tourist
Whose every moves among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline sunshine
One night in Bankok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bankok an the tough guys tumble
Cant bee to careful with your comapny
I can feel the devil walking next to me
Siams gotta be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
And thank god Im only watching the game
Controlling it
I dont see you guys rating
The kind of mate Im contemplating
Id let you watch I would invite you
But the queens wee use would not excite you
So youd better go back to your bars
your temples
your massage parlours
One night in Bankok and the worldss your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls aint free
Youll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One night in Bankok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bankok an the tough guys tumble
Cant bee to careful with your comapny
I can feel a devil walking next to me
