Bangkok/One night in Bangkok
The American
Bangkok! Oriental setting
And the city don’t know what the city is 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 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!
Chorus
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 your lucky then the god’s a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
The American
One town’s very like another
When your head’s down over your pieces, brother
Chorus
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
The American
Whaddya mean? You’ve seen one crowded, polluted,
Stinking town –
Chorus
Tea, girls – warm and sweet – warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
The American
Get Thai’d! You’re talking to a tourist
Whose every move’s among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
Chorus
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
The American
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 parlours –
chorus
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
