Lyric One Night In Bangkok

Bangkok!
Oriental setting
And the city don t know what the city is getting
The créme de la créme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies doesn t seem a minute
Since the Tyrolean spa has the chess boys in it
All change dom t you know that when you
Play at this level there s no ordianry venue

It s Iceland or the Philippines or Hastings or this place

One night in Bankok and the worlds s your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain t free
You ll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you re lucky then the god s a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

One town is very like another
When you head s down over your pieces brother

Tea girls warm and sweet (warm sweet)
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
Get Thai d you re talking to a tourist
Whose every move s 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
Can t bee to careful with your comapny
I can feel the devil walking next to me

Siam s 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 I m only watching the game
Controlling it

I don t see you guys rating
The kind of mate I m contemplating
I d let you watch I would invite you
But the queens wee use would not excite you

So you d better go back to your bars
your temples
your massage parlours

One night in Bankok and the worlds s your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain t free
You ll 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
Can t bee to careful with your comapny
I can feel a devil walking next to me
