"I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine" is a line from "One Night in Bangkok"", where Murray Head as chess grandmaster Freddie Trumper is rejecting "Tea, girls, warm, sweet, Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite" for the pleasures of watching and commenting on a chess shampionship.

When I looked up the lyrics back when the song was quoted in the comic, I found someone had written them as "T-girls, warm, sweet", even with a footnote saying that made more sense. *shrug*

Having seen a production, I'll be honest--it could go either way as far as the scene is concerned. (The singer is essentially trolling the city's red-light districts after throwing a hissy-fit during the game, and looking down on the hedonists around him.)

...having only heard it on the radio, I'd always kind of figured that was it. I mean, ask Joe Q. Public about Thailand... plus, "and if you're lucky then your god's a she."
