One Night In Bangkok lyrics

Lyrics
Bangkok, oriental setting
And the city don't know what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but yul brynner
Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
Since the tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change -- don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue
It's iceland -- or the philippines -- or hastings -- or -- or this place!
One night in bangkok and the world'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's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city
Whaddya mean? ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --
Tea, girls, warm and 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 bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
Siam's gonna 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 we use would not excite you
So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlours --
One night in bangkok and the world'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 bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
