| 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! | |
| [COMPANY] | |
| 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 | |
| [THE AMERICAN] | |
| One town's very like another | |
| When your head's down over your pieces, brother | |
| [COMPANY] | |
| 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? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town -- | |
| [COMPANY] | |
| Tea, girls, 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 | |
| [COMPANY] | |
| 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 Buddha | |
| 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 better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlours -- | |
| [COMPANY] | |
| 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 |
