One Night In Bangkok lyrics
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 you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
FREDDIE
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner
Bangkok, just another stop
On the chess world circus - Masters drop in,
Play, checkmate, check out and then you
Move on to another venue
Like 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 you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
FREDDIE
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
FREDDIE
Whaddya mean? You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town, you've seen -
CHORUS
Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham Suite
FREDDIE
Get Thai'd! You're taking 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
FREDDIE
Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test in cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
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 parlors
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
