Bangkok!


Oriental setting


And the city don·t know what the city is getting


The cr?me de la cr?me 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 walkïng next to me
