Musical: Chess
Song: Bangkok
Freddie:
Bangkok,
Oriental Setting,
The city don't know what the city is getting.
The creme de la creme of the chess world in show with everything but Yul Brynner.
Bangkok,
Just another stop in, the chess world circus, masters drop in, playing checkmate,
check-out, and then you move on to another venue,
Like Iceland, or the Phillipines or Hastings, or, or this place
Chorus: Company:
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 than the god's a she,
I can feel an angel sliding up to me.
Freddie:
One town's very like another when your head's down over your pieces brother.
Company:
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.
Freddie:
What do you mean? You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town, you've seen them all.
Company:
Tea girls, warm, sweet, some are set up in the Somerset Maughm suite.
Freddie:
Get tied, you're talking to a tourist whose every move's among the purest.
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine.
Company:
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 walking next to me.
Freddie:
Siam's going to be the witness of the ultimate test of cerebral fitness.
This grips me more than a muddy old river or reclining Buddha.
I don't see you guys rating the kind of mates I'm contemplating.
I'd let you watch, I would invite you, but the queens we use would not excite you.
So go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlours.
Company:
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, 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.
