A show with everything, a jewel grinner.
A show with everything but Yul Brynner.
A show with everything, a pure grinner
A show with everything but Yul Brynner
A very special little history
A little flesh, a little history
And if you're lucky then the guy's a she
And if you're lucky then the god's a she.
Bangkok, Oriental city
Bangkok, Oriental setting
But city don't know what city is yet.
But the city don't know what the city is getting.
But the city don't know what the city is kept
But the city don't know what the city is getting
Get tied! You're talkin' to a tourist.
Get Thai'd! You're talkin' to a tourist.
Get tied, you're talking to a Taurus
Get Thai'd, you're talking to a tourist.
Get tired, you're talking to a tourist.
Get Thai'd, you're talking to a tourist.
Hentai! You're talkin' to a tourist.
Get Thai'd! You're talkin' to a tourist.
I bet you watch, I would invite you,
but the Queen's wheels would not excite you
I'd let you watch, I would invite you,
but the Queens we use would not excite you
I bet you'd watch, I would invite you
But the dreams we use would not excite you.
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you.
I can feel the ages sliding next to me.
I can feel an angel sliding up to me.
I can feel the danger sliding next to me.
I can feel an angel sliding up to me.
I give my kids above the waistline suction
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
I hit my kids above the waist line, Sunshine.
I get my kicks above the waist line, Sunshine.
I'd let you watch, I would invite you,
but the Queen's wheels would not excite you
I'd let you watch, I would invite you,
but the Queens we use would not excite you
It's a tag, it's a sport, it's really such a pity to be looking at the bar, not looking at the city.
Wait a minute!
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!
It's no ordinary menu.
There's no ordinary venue.
Not much between this barren ecstasy
Not much between despair and ecstasy
Not much between this pear and eggs to see
or
Not much between this pair of eggs to see.
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the world goes bastard (Said in a Yorkshire accent).
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster.
One night in Bangkok
And the world's your hustler.
One night in Bangkok
And the world's your oyster.
One night in Bangkok
And the world's your foot stool.
One night in Bangkok
And the world's your oyster.
One night in Bangok and the next Bugtussell.
One night in Bangkok makes a hard guy humble.
One night and 'bang!' caught
or
One night in a bang cot
or
One night in a bang cot
One night in Bangkok
One night in makeup makes a hard man crumble.
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble.
One town's buried like another
When your hand's down over your Reese's, brother.
One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother.
One town's very like another
When you hand over your Visas, brother.
One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother.
One towns very like another
When your head's down over your feces, brother.
One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, Brother.
Or Haiti or, or this place
Or Hastings or, or this place
Showing everything but Juu Brynner.
A show with everything but Yul Brynner.
Since the Tirolean spa has the chess board in it
Since the Tyrolean spa had the chess boys in it
Since the Tyrolean spa has the chess boards in it
Since the Tyrolean spa has the chess boys in it
Somerset up in the Somerset palm suite
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
The bars and temples start to pulsate free
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
The bars are temples but the balls ain't free
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
The bars are temples, but the girls ain't free
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a show with everything but you'll bring 'em
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a show with everything but Yul Brynner.
The creme de la creme of the chest world
In a show with everything, but you'll bring 'em.
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner.
The world's your coaster
The world's your oyster
They're bars and temples but the bulls ain't free
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
This grips me more than would a muddy old river or reclining footer
This grips me more than would a muddy old river or reclining Buddha
Time flies, doesn't seem a minute since the Dairy Lee and bar had the chess bar in it.
All change, don't you know that when you play at this level in the Waterbury menu
Time 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

All change, don't you know that when you play at this level, there's no ordinary venue.
Tongue tied! You're talkin' to a tourist.
Get Thai'd! You're talkin' to a tourist.
Tuck a** tumble.
Tough guys tumble.
Two girls, small and sweet
Somerset up in the Somerset Bumsqueak.
Tea, girls, warm and sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset-Maugham suite.
When you play at this level, it's no ordinary menu
When you play at this level, there's no ordinary venue
You see one crowd overlook this stinking town.
You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town.
You see, one crowd ever looked at this stinking town
You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
You'll find a garden, every gold in hubstop.
You'll find a god in every golden cloister.
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the guts of sheep.
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she.
You'll find a garden every golden hoist-land
or
You'll find a god in every golden hoister
or
You'll find a god in every golden hoister
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
You'll find a god in every golden oyster.
You'll find a god in every golden cloister.
You'll find a god in every golden wasteland.
You'll find a god in every golden cloister.
You'll find a guard in ever golden hoister
You'll find a God in every golden cloister
You'll find a guard in every golden cluster
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
You'll find a guy in every golden Chrysler.
You'll find a god in every golden cloister.
You've seen one crowded, polluted, septic town.
You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town.
...and the Hare Krishna
...and the world's your oyster
And the Hare Krishna
And the world's your oyster.
And the world's your coaster
And the world's your oyster
Bangkok, oriental city
Bangkok, oriental setting
But the city don't know what the city has got
...
All change, don't you know that when you
Play at this level at no ordinary venue
...
The bars are temples but their pulse ain't free
You'll find a guard in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky, then the guards are she
...
You've seen one crowded, epileptic, stinking town
"Hey there, small and sweet
(Sweet) sun-set
Up in the sun-set pulse suite"
...
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
...
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys stumble
...
I don't see you guys raping
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
But the city don't know what the city is getting
...
All changed, don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue
...
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
...
You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
...
Tea, girls, warm and sweet (sweet)
Some are set up
In the Somerset Maugham suite
...
One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble
...
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
...
I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
But the queen's Wii U would not excite you.
But the queens we use would not excite you.
Editor's note: The "Wii U" did not exist in 1985, when this song was made. Therefore this mishearing is not plausible. It's an anachronism.
Get tied! You took her to a tourist booth
Every move's among the purest.
Get Thai'd! You're talkin' to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest.
One night in Baghdad
One night in Bangkok
One night in Bangkok when the world's your coaster
One night in Bangkok when the world's your oyster
One night, my bum stool
One night in Bangkok
Since they drearily installed all the chess boards in it
Since the Tyrolean spa had the chess boys in it
Tea, girls, warm and sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset-Maugham suite.
T-girls, warm and sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset-Maugham suite.
You took it to attorneys
You took it to a tourist
You'll find a god in every golden Hutspa.
You'll find a god in every gold cloister.
