[00:00.200] |
Bangkok, Oriental setting |
[00:01.790] |
And the city don't know that the city is getting |
[00:04.050] |
The creme de la creme of the chess world |
[00:05.820] |
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner |
[00:13.160] |
Time flies, doesn't seem a minute |
[00:14.520] |
Since the Tyrolean spa had the chess boys in it |
[00:17.280] |
All changed, don't you know that when you |
[00:19.190] |
Play at this level, it's no ordinary venue |
[00:21.940] |
It's Iceland, or the Philippines |
[00:25.540] |
Or Hastings, or this place! |
[00:28.030] |
{FREDDIE & SOLOISTS} |
[00:28.250] |
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster |
[00:32.670] |
The bars are temples, but the pearls ain't free |
[00:37.080] |
You'll find a God in every golden cloister |
[00:41.530] |
And if you're lucky then the God's a she |
[00:44.950] |
I can feel an angel sliding up to me |
[00:48.930] |
{FREDDIE} |
[00:49.310] |
One town's very like another |
[00:50.900] |
When your head's down over your pieces, brother |
[00:53.220] |
{SOLOISTS} |
[00:53.400] |
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity |
[00:55.150] |
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city |
[00:57.200] |
{FREDDIE} |
[00:57.610] |
Whaddaya mean? |
[00:58.710] |
You see one crowded, polluted, stinking town, you've... |
[01:01.940] |
{SOLOISTS} |
[01:02.160] |
Tea, girls, warm and sweet |
[01:04.120] |
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite |
[01:06.560] |
{FREDDIE} |
[01:06.860] |
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist |
[01:08.460] |
Whose every move's among the purest |
[01:11.400] |
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine |
[01:15.000] |
{FREDDIE & SOLOISTS} |
[01:15.220] |
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble |
[01:21.940] |
Not much between despair and ecstasy |
[01:26.240] |
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble |
[01:30.590] |
Can't be too careful with your company |
[01:34.510] |
I can feel the devil walking next to me |
[01:40.560] |
{Instrumental interlude} |
[01:56.710] |
{FREDDIE} |
[01:57.250] |
Siam's gonna be the witness |
[01:59.160] |
To the ultimate test in cerebral fitness |
[02:01.500] |
This grips me more than would |
[02:03.350] |
A muddy old river or reclining Buddha |
[02:06.140] |
Thank God I'm only watching the game |
[02:08.810] |
Controlling it |
[02:10.440] |
I don't see you guys rating |
[02:12.180] |
The kind of mate I'm contemplating |
[02:14.520] |
I'd let you watch, I would invite you |
[02:16.330] |
But the queens we use would not excite you |
[02:19.150] |
So you'd better go back to your bars, your temples |
[02:23.540] |
Your massage parlors |
[02:25.300] |
{FREDDIE & SOLOISTS} |
[02:25.490] |
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster |
[02:29.840] |
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free |
[02:34.190] |
You'll find a God in every golden cloister |
[02:38.520] |
A little flesh, a little history |
[02:42.520] |
I can feel an angel sliding up to me |
[02:46.080] |
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble |
[02:50.390] |
Not much between despair and ecstasy |
[02:54.770] |
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble |
[02:58.930] |
Can't be too careful with your company |
[03:03.100] |
I can feel the devil walking next to me |
