[00:17.87]Bangkok, oriental setting and the city
[00:20.45]don''''t know that the city is getting
[00:22.16]The creme de la creme
[00:23.48]of the chess world in a
[00:24.59]show with everything but Yul Brynner
[00:28.05]
[00:31.46]Time flies, doesn''''t seem a minute
[00:33.43]Since the Tirolean spa
[00:34.39]had the chess boys in it
[00:35.84]All change, don''''t you know
[00:37.91]That when you play at this level
[00:39.51]there''''s no ordinary venue
[00:41.26]It''''s Iceland or the Philippines or Hastings
[00:45.00]Or, or this place
[00:47.02]One night in Bangkok
[00:48.57]and the world''''s your oyster
[00:51.48]The bars are temples
[00:52.76]but the pearls ain''''t free
[00:56.17]You''''ll find a God in every golden cloister
[01:00.44]And if you''''re lucky then the God''''s a she
[01:04.64]I can feel an angel sliding up to me
[01:09.38]
[01:11.77]One town''''s very like another
[01:13.71]When your head''''s down
[01:14.66]over your pieces, brother
[01:16.11](It''''s a drag, it''''s a bore,
[01:17.21]it''''s really such a pity)
[01:18.14](To be looking at the board,
[01:19.27]not looking at the city)
[01:20.36]What d''''ya mean
[01:22.18]You seen one crowded,
[01:23.42]polluted, stinking town
[01:25.12](Tea, girls, warm and sweet)
[01:27.17](Some are set up
[01:28.32]in the Somerset Maugham suite)
[01:29.35]Get Thai''''d! You''''re talking to a tourist
[01:31.82]Whose every move''''s among the purest
[01:38.74]I get my kicks above the waistline,sunshine
[02:52.99][01:41.14]One night in Bangkok
[02:54.19][01:42.55]makes a hard man humble
[02:57.06][01:45.24]Not much between despair and ecstasy
[03:01.52][01:49.92]One night in Bangkok
[03:03.01][01:51.20]and the tough guys tumble
[03:05.92][01:54.28]Can''''t be too careful with your company
[03:10.15][01:58.42]I can feel the devil walking next to me[02:03.35]Siam''''s gonna be the witness
[02:05.46]To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
[02:07.67]This grips me more than would
[02:09.53]A muddy old river or reclining Buddha
[02:11.67]Thank God I''''m only
[02:13.08]watching the game, controlling it
[02:14.97]I don''''t see you guys rating
[02:17.01]The kind of mate I''''m contemplating
[02:18.86]I''''d let you watch, I would invite you
[02:21.33]But the queens we use would not excite you
[02:23.84]So you better go back to your bars,
[02:25.99]your temples
[02:27.56]Your massage parlors
[02:30.88]One night in Bangkok
[02:32.84]and the world''''s your oyster
[02:35.77]The bars are temples
[02:37.20]but the pearls ain''''t free
[02:40.24]You''''ll find a God in every golden cloister
[02:44.67]A little flesh, a little history
[02:49.05]I can feel an angel sliding up to me
