Bangkok - Oriental setting

And the city don't know
What the city is getting.
The creme de la creme of
The chess world in a show
With everything But Yul Brynner.

Times flies
Doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean Spa
Had the chess boys in it.

All change
don't you know that when you play at this level
There's no ordinary venue.
It's Iceland or the Philippines or Hastings or;
or this place!

One night in Bangkok
and the world'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's very like another when your head's down
Over your pieces
brother.
It's a drag it's a bore it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board
not looking at the city.
Whaddya mean?
You've seen one crowded
polluted stinking town.

Tea girls warm and sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite.
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every moves's among the purest.
I get my kicks
above the waistline sunshine.

One night in Bangkok
makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy.
One night in Bangkok
and the tough guys tumble

Can't be too careful with your company.
I can feel the devil walkin' next to me.

Siam's gonna be the witness
to the ultimate test of cerebral fitness.
This grips me more than would a muddy old river
or reclining Buddah.

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 we use would not excite you.

So you'd better go back to your bars
your temples
your massage parlors

One night in Bangkok
and the world'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 Bangkok
makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy.
One night in Bangkok
and the tough guys tumble

Can't be too careful with your company.
I can feel the devil walkin' next to me.
