One Night In Bangkok by Murray Head

Bangkok
Oriental Setting
But the (1)________ don't know
What the city is getting

The creme de la creme
Of the chess world
In a show (2)________ everything
But Yul Brynner

Time flies
Doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa
Had the chess boys in it

All changed
Don't you know (3)________ (4)________ you
Play at this level
There's no (5)________________ venue

It's Iceland
Or the Philippines
Or Hastings
Or, or this place

One night in Bangkok
And the world's (6)________ 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

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 (7)________ a pity
To be (8)______________ at the board
Not (9)______________ at the city

What do you mean?!
You've seen one crowded
Polluted, (10)________________ town

Tea girls, warm and sweet
(Sweet)
Some are set up in
The Somerset Maugham suite

Get Thai'ed
You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's
Among the purest

I get my kicks
Above the waistline
Sunshine!

One night in Bangkok makes
The hard man humble
Not much between
despair and ecstasy

One night in Bangkok
And the (11)__________ (12)________ tumble
Can't be too careful
With your company
I can (13)________ the devil
Walking 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 (14)__________________ Buddha

Thank God
I'm only (15)________________ the game
Controlling it

I don't see
You (16)________ rating
The kind of mate
I'm contemplating

I'd let you watch
I (17)__________ invite you
But the queens we use
Would not (18)____________ you

So you (19)____________ go back
To (20)________ bars, your temples
Your (21)______________ parlors

One night in Bangkok
And the world's your oyster
The (22)________ are temples
But their pearls ain't free

You'll (23)________ 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
The hard man humble
Not (24)________ 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 (25)________ to me
