The Arbiter |
I’ve a duty as a referee |
At the start of a match |
On behalf of all our sponsors |
I must welcome you |
Which I do-- there’s a catch: |
I don’t care if you’re a champion |
No one messes with me |
I am ruthless in upholding |
What I know is right |
Black or white, as you’ll see |
I’m on the case |
Can’t be fooled |
Any objection |
Is overruled |
Yes, I’m the Arbiter |
And I know best |
He’s impartial |
Don’t push him |
He’s unimpressed |
You got your tricks |
Good for you |
But there’s no gambit |
I don’t see through |
Oh, I’m the Arbiter |
I know the score |
From square one |
I’ll be watching all 64 |
If you’re thinking |
Of the kind of thing |
That we’ve seen in the past |
Chanting gurus, walkie-talkies |
Walkouts, hypnotists |
Tempers, fists |
Not so fast |
This is not the start |
Of World War Three |
No political ploys |
I think both your |
Constitutions are terrific |
So know you know |
Be good boys |
I’m on the case |
Can’t be fooled |
Any objection |
Is overruled |
Yes, I’m the Arbiter |
And I know best |
He’s impartial |
Don’t push him |
He’s unimpressed |
You got your tricks |
Good for you |
But there’s no gambit |
I don’t see through |
Oh, I’m the Arbiter |
I know the score |
From square one |
I’ll be watching all 64 |
Oh, I’m the Arbiter |
I know the score |
From square one |
I’ll be watching all 64 |
