Bangkok, Oriental setting

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!

 [COMPANY]
 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

 [THE AMERICAN]
 One town's very like another
 When your head's down over your pieces, brother

 [COMPANY]
 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

 [THE AMERICAN]
 Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --

 [COMPANY]
 Tea, girls, warm, sweet
 Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

 [THE AMERICAN]
 Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
 Whose every move's among the purest
 I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

 [COMPANY]
 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 [bad word] /www [bad word] one_night_in_bangkok_lyrics_mike_tyson.html

 [THE AMERICAN]
 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 --

 [COMPANY]
 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
 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
