[0-1:59.900] {FREDDIE}
[00:00.200] Bangkok, Oriental setting
[00:01.790] And the city don't know that the city is getting
[00:04.050] The creme de la creme of the chess world
[00:05.820] In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
[00:13.160] Time flies, doesn't seem a minute
[00:14.520] Since the Tyrolean spa had the chess boys in it
[00:17.280] All changed, don't you know that when you
[00:19.190] Play at this level, it's no ordinary venue
[00:21.940] It's Iceland, or the Philippines
[00:25.540] Or Hastings, or this place!
[00:28.030] {FREDDIE & SOLOISTS}
[00:28.250] One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
[00:32.670] The bars are temples, but the pearls ain't free
[00:37.080] You'll find a God in every golden cloister
[00:41.530] And if you're lucky then the God's a she
[00:44.950] I can feel an angel sliding up to me
[00:48.930] {FREDDIE}
[00:49.310] One town's very like another
[00:50.900] When your head's down over your pieces, brother
[00:53.220] {SOLOISTS}
[00:53.400] It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
[00:55.150] To be looking at the board, not looking at the city
[00:57.200] {FREDDIE}
[00:57.610] Whaddaya mean?
[00:58.710] You see one crowded, polluted, stinking town, you've...
[01:01.940] {SOLOISTS}
[01:02.160] Tea, girls, warm and sweet
[01:04.120] Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
[01:06.560] {FREDDIE}
[01:06.860] Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
[01:08.460] Whose every move's among the purest
[01:11.400] I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
[01:15.000] {FREDDIE & SOLOISTS}
[01:15.220] One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
[01:21.940] Not much between despair and ecstasy
[01:26.240] One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
[01:30.590] Can't be too careful with your company
[01:34.510] I can feel the devil walking next to me
[01:40.560] {Instrumental interlude}
[01:56.710] {FREDDIE}
[01:57.250] Siam's gonna be the witness
[01:59.160] To the ultimate test in cerebral fitness
[02:01.500] This grips me more than would
[02:03.350] A muddy old river or reclining Buddha
[02:06.140] Thank God I'm only watching the game
[02:08.810] Controlling it
[02:10.440] I don't see you guys rating
[02:12.180] The kind of mate I'm contemplating
[02:14.520] I'd let you watch, I would invite you
[02:16.330] But the queens we use would not excite you
[02:19.150] So you'd better go back to your bars, your temples
[02:23.540] Your massage parlors
[02:25.300] {FREDDIE & SOLOISTS}
[02:25.490] One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
[02:29.840] The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
[02:34.190] You'll find a God in every golden cloister
[02:38.520] A little flesh, a little history
[02:42.520] I can feel an angel sliding up to me
[02:46.080] One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
[02:50.390] Not much between despair and ecstasy
[02:54.770] One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
[02:58.930] Can't be too careful with your company
[03:03.100] I can feel the devil walking next to me
