One Night In Bankok Lyrics - Singles - Murray Head

Bangkok - Oriental setting 

And 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 Brynner. 

Times 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!

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

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. 

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. 

Whaddya mean? You've seen one crowded 

polluted

9 Misheard Christmas Carol Lyrics 

Songs That Will Make You Cry Uncontrollably 

stinking town. 

Tea 

girls 

warm and sweet 

warm 

sweet 

Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite. 

Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist 

Whose every moves's among the purest. 

I get my kicks above the waistline 

sunshine. 

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 walkin' 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 reclining Buddah. 

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'd better go back to your bars 

your temples 

your massage parlou 

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. 

A little flesh 

a little history. 

I can feel an angel sliding up to me. 

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble . . .
