Songteksten

[Verse 1]
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know what the city is gettin'
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
[Verse 2]
Time flies, doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tyrollean 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
[Verse 3]
It's Iceland or the Philippines
Or Hastings, or, or this place
[Verse 4]
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 slidin' up to me
[Verse 5]
One town's very like another
When you head's down over your pieces, brother
[Verse 6]
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be lookin' at the board, not lookin' at the city
[Verse 7]
Whaddya mean
Ya seen one crowded polluted stinking town
Tea girls, warm and sweet, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham Suite
[Verse 8]
Get Thai'd, you're talkin' to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
But thank God I'm only watching the game
Controlling it
[Verse 12]
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
[Verse 13]
So you better go back to your bars, your temples
Your massage parlours
[Verse 14]
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 slidin' up to me
[Verse 15]
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
