Arbiter
|
|
|
I've a duty as the referee
At the start of the 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 see
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm on the case
Can't be fooled
Any objection
Is overruled
Yes I'm the arbiter and I know best
|
|

Chorus
|
|
|
He's impartial, don't push him, he's unimpressed

Arbiter
|
|
|
You got your tricks
Good for you
But there's no gambit I don't see through
I'm the arbiter I know the score
|

Chorus
|
|
|
From square one he'll be watching all 64

Arbiter

|
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 now 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
|
|

Arbiter

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
