1
[THE AMERICAN]
2
Bangkok, Oriental setting
3
And the city don't know that the city is getting
4
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
5
Show with everything but Yul Brynner
6
Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
7
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
8
All change -- don't you know that when you
9
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue
10
It's Iceland -- or the Philippines -- or Hastings -- or --
11
or this place!
12
[COMPANY]
13
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
14
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
15
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
16
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
17
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
18
[THE AMERICAN]
19
One town's very like another
20
When your head's down over your pieces, brother
21
[COMPANY]
22
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
23
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city
24
[THE AMERICAN]
25
Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --
26
[COMPANY]
27
Tea, girls, warm, sweet
28
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
29
[THE AMERICAN]
30
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
31
Whose every move's among the purest
32
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
33
[COMPANY]
34
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
35
Not much between despair and ecstasy
36
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
37
Can't be too careful with your company
38
I can feel the devil walking next to me
39
[THE AMERICAN]
40
Siam's gonna be the witness
41
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
42
This grips me more than would a
43
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
44
And thank God I'm only watching the game -- controlling it --
45
I don't see you guys rating
46
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
47
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
48
But the queens we use would not excite you
49
So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage
50
parlours --
51
[COMPANY]
52
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
53
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
54
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
55
A little flesh, a little history
56
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
57
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
58
Not much between despair and ecstasy
59
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
60
Can't be too careful with your company
61
I can feel the devil walking next to me
