[00:29.42] One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble

[00:33.66] Not much between despair and ecstasy

[00:37.94] One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble

[00:42.20] Can't be too careful with your company

[00:46.45] I can feel the Devil walking next to me

[00:51.77] Bangkok,

[00:52.83] Oriental City. But the city don't know what the city is getting

[00:56.29] The creme de la creme of the chess world

[00:57.88] In a show with everything but Yul Brenner

[01:05.05] Time flies,

[01:05.74] doesn't seem a minute. Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boards in it

[01:09.45] All changed,

[01:10.24] don't you know that when you.

[01:11.32] Play at this level there's no ordinary venue

[01:13.97] It's Iceland, or the Philippines, or Hastings

[01:17.68] Or, or this place

[01:20.33] One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster

[01:24.59] The bars are temples but their pearls ain't free

[01:28.85] You'll find a god in every golden cloister

[01:33.09] And if you're lucky, then the god's a she

[01:37.07] I can feel an angel sliding up to me

[01:40.81] One town's

[01:41.59] very like another. When your head's down over your pieces, brother

[01:44.52] (It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity

[01:47.17] To be looking at the board

[01:48.24] Not looking at the city)

[01:49.03] Whattaya mean?

[01:51.15] You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town

[01:53.55] (Tea, girls, warm and sweet, sweet

[01:55.67] Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite)

[01:58.06] Get Thai'd, you're talking to a tourist

[01:59.65] Whose every move's among the purest

[02:03.37] I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

[02:08.94] One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble

[02:13.19] Not much between despair and ecstasy

[02:17.18] One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble

[02:21.70] Can't be too careful with your company

[02:25.96] I can feel the Devil walking next to me

[04:18.37] Siam's

[04:19.44] gonna be the witness. To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness

[04:22.90] This grips me more than would a muddy old river

[04:25.31] Or reclining Buddha

[04:27.42] Thank God

[04:27.95] I'm only watching the game, controlling it

[04:31.40] I don't see you guys raging

[04:33.26] The kind of mating I'm contemplating

[04:35.91] I'd let you watch, I would invite you

[04:37.51] But the queens we use would not excite you

[04:40.96] So, you better go back to your bars, your temples

[04:44.15] Your massage parlors

[04:46.54] One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster

[04:50.79] The bars are temples but their pearls ain't free

[04:55.32] You'll find a god in every golden cloister

[04:59.57] A little flesh, a little history

[05:03.81] I can feel an angel sliding up to me

[05:07.00] One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble

[05:11.52] Not much between despair and ecstasy

[05:15.76] One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble

[05:20.02] Can't be too careful with your company

[05:23.48] I can feel the Devil walking next to me
