Bangkok – oriental setting And the city don't know what the city's getting The crème de la crème of the chess world In a show with everything but Yul Brynner Time flies – doesn't seem a minute Since the Trolley and 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 this place One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free I get my kicks You 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 do you mean? You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town Tea girls, warm and sweet (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 I've marched between despair and ecstasy What do you mean? One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble Can't be together with your company I can feel the devil walking next to me And thank God I'm only watching the game Controlling it, yeah So you'd 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 I get my kicks You find a god in every golden cloister A little flesh, a little history I can feel an angel sliding up to me And thank God I'm only watching the game A little flesh, a little history I can feel the devil walking next to me I can feel the devil A little flesh, a little history Walking next to me I can feel the devil walking next to me Next to me Next to me
