Rap:
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
Bangkok, just another stop
in the chess world circus-
masters drop in, play,
checkmate, check out and then
you move on to another venue.
Like lceland- or the Philippines
- or Hastings - or - or this place
[Chorus 1]
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.
Rap:
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.
Rap:
Whaddya mean?
Ya seen one crowded, polluted,
sting town, ya seen,em all.
[Chorus]
Tea girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the
Somerset Maugham suite.
Rap:
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 2]
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.
Rap:
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 bullha
I dot,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 parlors..
..... Oh .....
