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
Bangkok, Oriental Setting But 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 boards in it All changed, 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 their 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] Whattaya mean?! You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
Tea, girls, warm and sweet, sweet Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
Get tied, 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 but Thank God I'm only watching the game, controlling it I don't see you guys raging 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 their 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 the 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
