One Night In Bangkok (DJ版) - Murray Head
Lyrics by:Benny Andersson/Björn Ulvaeus/Tim Rice

Bangkok Oriental City
But the city don't know what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brenner
Yul Brenner
Yul Brenner
Yul Brenner
Time flies doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boards in it
All changed 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 this place this place
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but their 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
Can be together in your company
I can feel the jungle come on next to me
Can be together in your company
One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces brother
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
Whattaya mean?
You've seen one crowded polluted stinking town
Tea girls warm and sweet sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
Get Thai'd you're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
Purest
Purest
Purest
Purest
I get my kicks above the waistline sunshine
Sunshine
Sunshine
Sunshine
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but their pearls ain't free
You'll find a God in every golden cloister
Can be together in your company
I can feel the jungle come on next to me
Can be together in your company
I can feel the jungle come on next to me
Can be together in your company
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
Thank God I'm only watching the game controlling it
Controlling it
Controlling it
Controlling it
Controlling it
Controlling it
Controlling it
Controlling it
Controlling it
I don't see you guys raging
The kind of mating 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 parlors
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but their pearls ain't free
You'll find a God in every golden cloister
A little flesh a little history
One night in Bangkok makes the 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
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the Devil walking next to me
Can't be too careful with your company
