[Part I: Bangkok]
[Instrumental]
[Part II: One Night in Bangkok]
[THE AMERICAN]
Bangkok! Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The crème de la crème of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
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
It's Iceland—or the Philippines—or Hastings— or—
Or this place!
[ENSEMBLE]
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
