Bangkok, Oriental setting and the city don't know what the city is getting The creme de la creme of the dress world in a show with everything but your runner Time flies, does it seem a minute since the Thirliers bar 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 this place One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster The bars and temples but the pearls ain't free You'll find a god in every golden cluster And if you're lucky then the gods are sheer 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 really such a pity to be looking at the boy not looking at the city What do you mean? You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town? Girls, warm and sweet, summer set up in a summer setting, warm and sweet Get tired, you're talking to a tourist, there's every move that's among the purest I get my kicks up off the waistline, sunshine One night in Bangkok makes a heart melt, I'm bored Not much between despair and ecstasy One night in Bangkok and the town got assembled 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 a reclining Buddha And thank God I'm only watching the game, controlling it I don't see you guys waiting, the kind of mate I'm contemplating I'll let you watch, I would invite you, but the quiz we use would not excite you So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlours One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster The bars and temples, but the pearls ain't free You finally got in every golden cluster A little flesh, a little history I can feel an angel sliding up to me One night in Bangkok makes a heart melt, I'm bored Not much between despair and ecstasy One night in Bangkok and the town got assembled Can't be too careful with your company I can feel the devil walking next to me
