| 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 |
