Bang kok
O ri en tal Set ting
But the ci ty don't know
what the ci ty is get ting
The creme de la creme
of the chess world
In a show
with eve ry thing
but Yul Bryn ner
Time flies
doe sn't seem a mi nute
Since the Ty ro lean spa
had the chess boards in it
All changed
don't you know
that when you
Play at this le vel
there's no
or di na ry ve nue
It's Ice land
or the Phi li ppines
or Has tings
Or
Or this place
One night in Bang kok
and the world's your oys ter
The bars are tem ples
but their pearls ain't free
You'll find a god
in eve ry gol den clois ter
And if you're luc ky
then the god's a she
I can feel an an gel
sli din' up to me
One town's ve ry
like a no ther
When your head's down
o ver your pie ces bro ther
It's a drag it's a bore
it's real ly such a pi ty
To be loo king
at the board ~ not ~
loo king at the ci ty
What ta ya mean
You've seen
one crow ~ ded
pol lu ted stin king town
Tea girls warm and sweet
Some are set up
In the So mer set
Maug ham suite
Get Thai'd
you're tal king to a tou rist
Whose eve ry move's
a mong the pu ~ rest
I get my kicks
a bove the waist line
sun shine
One night in Bang kok
makes the hard man hum ble
Not much bet ween
des pair and ecs ta sy
One night in Bang kok
and the tough guys tum ble
Can't be too care ful
with your com pa ny
I can feel the de vil
wal king next to me
Si am's gon na be
the wit ness
To the ul ti mate test
of ce re bral fit ness
This grips me more
than would a mud dy
old ri ver
Or re cli ning Bud dha
But thank God
I'm on ly wat ching the game
Cont rol ling it
I don't see you guys ra ting
The kind of mate
I'm con tem pla ting
I'd let you watch
I would in vite you
But the queens
we use would not ex cite you
So you bet ter go
back to your bars
Your tem ples
your mas sage par lors ~
One night in Bang kok
and the world's your oys ter
The bars are tem ples
but their pearls ain't free
You'll find a god
in eve ry gol den clois ter
A li ttle flesh

One night in Bang kok

One night in Bang kok
