Bangkok, oriental setting and the city
don't know that 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)
What d'ya mean
You 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
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 parlors

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
