That Butler, New Face

That Butler, Trick or Treat 5

{After carefully weighing the pros and cons...}

"Fine, you win. We'll go to the mall... even though I really don't want to..." Cpt. LeBeau said, sighing in defeat. He could fight off ten men single-handedly, but he never seemed to be able to win against his wife's stubbornness. The defeated Marine did a U-turn so they could turn around and get on the right highway.

"Thank you, Honey~!" Pomona said, smiling brightly as she blew him a kiss from the passenger seat.

"Well, it's gonna be awhile... How about some music?" Cpt. LeBeau suggested as he turned on the radio and started flipping through the stations.

"Oh! Oh! That one! Go back a station! Perfect!" Lacey and Chêne yelled excitedly as One Night in Bangkok by Murray Head blared through the speakers. For some reason the two of them just loved that song. It was an oldie, but goodie. Lacey and Chêne grinned at each other as they bobbed their heads to the beat of the oriental styled opening of the 80's song. They took a breath before launching into singing the song as the music abruptly changed to a somewhat techno/pop style.

[Lacey]
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner

[Chêne]
Time flies - doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tyrolean 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

[Lacey]
It's Iceland - or the Philippines - or Hastings - or -
or this place!

[Lacey and Chêne]
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

The music was rather strange to Ciel and Sebastian, with them being used to more classical music, but Chêne's high, clear, soprano voice, that chimed like a silver bell, contrasted beautifully with Lacey's low and sultry alto voice.

[Lacey]
One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother

[Chêne]
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

[Lacey]
Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town -

[Chêne]
Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

[Lacey]
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

[Lacey and Chêne]
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
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

[Lacey]
Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha

And thank God I'm only watching the game - controlling it -

I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you

So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage
parlours -

[Lacey and Chêne]
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
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
