[00:00.100] 作曲 : Benny Andersson/Björn Ulvaeus/Tim Rice
[00:00.200]Bangkok, Oriental setting
[00:01.790]And the city don't know that the city is getting
[00:04.050]The creme de la creme of the chess world
[00:05.820]In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
[00:13.160]Time flies, doesn't seem a minute
[00:14.520]Since the Tyrolean spa had the chess boys in it
[00:17.280]All changed, don't you know that when you
[00:19.190]Play at this level, it's no ordinary venue
[00:21.940]It's Iceland, or the Philippines
[00:25.540]Or Hastings, or this place!
[00:28.030]{FREDDIE & SOLOISTS}
[00:28.250]One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
[00:32.670]The bars are temples, but the pearls ain't free
[00:37.080]You'll find a God in every golden cloister
[00:41.530]And if you're lucky then the God's a she
[00:44.950]I can feel an angel sliding up to me
[00:48.930]{FREDDIE}
[00:49.310]One town's very like another
[00:50.900]When your head's down over your pieces, brother
[00:53.220]{SOLOISTS}
[00:53.400]It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
[00:55.150]To be looking at the board, not looking at the city
[00:57.200]{FREDDIE}
[00:57.610]Whaddaya mean?
[00:58.710]You see one crowded, polluted, stinking town, you've...
[01:01.940]{SOLOISTS}
[01:02.160]Tea, girls, warm and sweet
[01:04.120]Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
[01:06.560]{FREDDIE}
[01:06.860]Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
[01:08.460]Whose every move's among the purest
[01:11.400]I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
[01:15.000]{FREDDIE & SOLOISTS}
[01:15.220]One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
[01:21.940]Not much between despair and ecstasy
[01:26.240]One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
[01:30.590]Can't be too careful with your company
[01:34.510]I can feel the devil walking next to me
[01:40.560]{Instrumental interlude}
[01:56.710]{FREDDIE}
[01:57.250]Siam's gonna be the witness
[01:59.160]To the ultimate test in cerebral fitness
[02:01.500]This grips me more than would
[02:03.350]A muddy old river or reclining Buddha
[02:06.140]Thank God I'm only watching the game
[02:08.810]Controlling it
[02:10.440]I don't see you guys rating
[02:12.180]The kind of mate I'm contemplating
[02:14.520]I'd let you watch, I would invite you
[02:16.330]But the queens we use would not excite you
[02:19.150]So you'd better go back to your bars, your temples
[02:23.540]Your massage parlors
[02:25.300]{FREDDIE & SOLOISTS}
[02:25.490]One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
[02:29.840]The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
[02:34.190]You'll find a God in every golden cloister
[02:38.520]A little flesh, a little history
[02:42.520]I can feel an angel sliding up to me
[02:46.080]One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
[02:50.390]Not much between despair and ecstasy
[02:54.770]One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
[02:58.930]Can't be too careful with your company
[03:03.100]I can feel the devil walking next to me
