Bangkok!
Oriental setting
And the city don`t know what the city is getting
The crйme de la crйme 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
