C 21 - One Night In Bangkok songtekst

Je score:


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! 



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 



One town's very like another 

When your head's down over your pieces, brother 



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 



Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town -- 



Tea, girls, warm and sweet 

Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite 



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:

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 



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 -- 



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.
