<b>Song:</b> One Night In Bangkok

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.
Times 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? 
You've 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 moves'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 walkin' 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 Buddah.
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'd better go back to your bars
your temples, your massage parlou

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 .
