One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster The bars and temples but the booze ain't free You finally got it in every golden oyster A little flesh a little history I can feel an angel sliding up to me One night in Bangkok makes a hard man bumble 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.
