[00:18.37]Bangkok, Oriental city
[00:20.08]But the city don''t know what the city is getting
[00:22.38]The creme de la creme of the chess world
[00:24.38]In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
[00:27.34]
[00:31.54]Time flies, doesn''t seem a minute
[00:33.25]since the Tirolean spa had the chess boards in it
[00:35.54]All change, don''t you know that when you
[00:37.62]Play at this level there''s no ordinary venue
[00:40.02]
[00:40.77]It''s Iceland, or the Philippines, or Hastings
[00:44.40]Or....or this place!
[00:46.48]
[00:46.95]One night in Bangkok and the world''s your oyster
[00:51.34]The bars are temples but their pearls ain''t free
[00:55.60]You''ll find a god in every golden cloister
[01:00.11]And if you''re lucky, then the god''s a she
[01:04.19]I can feel an angel sliding up to me
[01:07.85]One town''s very like another
[01:09.57]When your head''s down over your pieces, brother
[01:11.76](It''s a drag, it''s a bore, it''s really such a pity
[01:13.81]To be looking at the board
[01:14.95]not looking at the city)
[01:16.57]Whattaya mean?!
[01:18.07]You''ve seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
[01:21.22]Tea, girls, warm and sweet, sweet
[01:22.78]Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
[01:25.42]Get tied, you''re talking to a tourist
[01:27.22]Whose every move''s among the purest
[01:29.86]I get my kicks ABOVE the waistline, sunshine!
[01:36.46]One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
[01:40.72]Not much between despair and ecstasy
[01:45.12]One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
[01:49.45]Can''t be too careful with your company
[01:53.64]I can feel the devil walking next to me
[01:57.37]
[02:14.81]Siam''s gonna be the witness
[02:16.68]To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
[02:19.25]This grips me more than would a muddy old river
[02:21.71]or reclining Buddha
[02:23.71]Thank God I''m only watching the game, controlling it
[02:28.01]I don''t see you guys rating
[02:29.79]The kind of mate I''m contemplating
[02:32.11]I''d let you watch, I would invite you
[02:34.18]But the queens WE use would not excite you.
[02:37.74]So, you better go back to your bars, your temples...
[02:40.90]your "massage parlors"...
[02:42.92]
[02:43.34]One night in Bangkok and the world''s your oyster
[02:47.66]The bars are temples but their pearls ain''t free
[02:52.09]You''ll find a god in every golden cloister
[02:56.54]A little flesh, a little history
[03:00.68]I can feel an angel sliding up to me
[03:04.32]One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble
[03:08.52]Not much between despair and ecstasy
[03:12.87]One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
[03:17.37]Can''t be too careful with your company
[03:21.42]I can feel the devil walking next to me
