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'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 he'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
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
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
