[length: 05:04]
[01:48.17]Bangkok, Oriental setting
[01:50.13]And the city don’t know that the city is getting
[01:52.20]The crème de la crème of the chess world
[01:54.17]In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
[01:58.15]
[02:01.45]Time flies, doesn’t seem a minute
[02:03.02]Since the Tyrolean spa had the chess boys in it
[02:05.50]All change, don’t you know that
[02:07.25]When you play at this level there’s no ordinary venue?
[02:10.91]It’s Iceland, or the Philippines, or Hastings, or
[02:14.57]Or this place!
[02:16.51]One night in Bangkok, and the world’s your oyster
[02:20.97]The bars are temples, but the pearls ain’t free
[02:25.38]You’ll find a god in every golden cloister
[02:29.49]And if you’re lucky then the god’s a she
[02:34.27]I can feel an angel sliding up to me
[02:37.60]One town’s very like another
[02:39.44]When your head’s down over your pieces, brother
[02:41.71](It’s a drag, it’s a bore, it’s really such a pity
[02:44.01]To be looking at the board, not looking at the city)
[02:46.18]Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
[02:50.70](Tea, girls, warm, sweet
[02:52.65]Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite)
[02:55.25]Get Thai’d! You’re talking to a tourist
[02:56.95]Whose every move’s among the purest
[03:00.55]I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
[03:06.38]One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
[03:10.72]Not much between despair and ecstasy
[03:15.12]One night in Bangkok, and the tough guys tumble
[03:19.33]Can’t be too careful with your company
[03:23.48]I can feel the devil walking next to me
[03:28.56]
[03:47.13]Siam’s gonna be the witness
[03:49.00]To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
[03:51.52]This grips me more than would a muddy old river
[03:54.23]Or reclining Buddha
[03:56.28]And thank God I’m only watching the game, controlling it
[04:00.47]I don’t see you guys rating
[04:02.35]The kind of mate I’m contemplating
[04:04.49]I’d let you watch, I would invite you
[04:06.43]But the queens we use would not excite you
[04:10.07]So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlours
[04:15.46]One night in Bangkok, and the world’s your oyster
[04:20.05]The bars are temples, but the pearls ain’t free
[04:24.33]You’ll find a god in every golden cloister
[04:28.75]A little flesh, a little history
[04:32.94]I can feel an angel sliding up to me
[04:36.60]One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
[04:41.06]Not much between despair and ecstasy
[04:45.38]One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
[04:49.51]Can’t be too careful with your company
[04:53.98]I can feel the devil walking next to me
