<br>Bangkok, Oriental setting<br>And the city don`t know that the city is getting <br>The creme de la creme of the chess world in a <br>Show with everything but Yul Brynner <br>Time flies -- doesn`t seem a minute <br>Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it <br>All change -- don`t you know that when you <br>Play at this level there`s no ordinary venue <br>It`s Iceland -- or the Philippines -- or Hastings -- or -- or this place! <br><br>One night in Bangkok and the world`s your oyster <br>The bars are temples but the pearls ain`t free <br>You`ll find a god in every golden cloister <br>And if you`re lucky then the god`s a she <br>I can feel an angel sliding up to me <br><br>One town`s very like another <br>When your head`s down over your pieces, brother <br><br>It`s a drag, it`s a bore, it`s really such a pity <br>To be looking at the board, not looking at the city <br><br>Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town -- <br><br>Tea, girls, warm and sweet <br>Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite <br><br>Get Thai`d! You`re talking to a tourist <br>Whose every move`s among the purest <br>I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine <br><br>One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble <br>Not much between despair and ecstasy <br>One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble <br>Can`t be too careful with your company <br>I can feel the devil walking next to me <br><br>Siam`s gonna be the witness <br>To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness <br>This grips me more than would a <br>Muddy old river or reclining Buddha <br>And thank God I`m only watching the game -- controlling it -- <br>I don`t see you guys rating <br>The kind of mate I`m contemplating <br>I`d let you watch, I would invite you <br>But the queens we use would not excite you <br>So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlours -- <br><br>One night in Bangkok and the world`s your oyster <br>The bars are temples but the pearls ain`t free <br>You`ll find a god in every golden cloister <br>A little flesh, a little history <br>I can feel an angel sliding up to me <br>One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble <br>Not much between despair and ecstasy <br>One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble <br>Can`t be too careful with your company <br>I can feel the devil walking next to me
