[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
[THE ARBITER & SOLOISTS]
I'm on the case
Can't be fooled
Any objection
Is overruled
[THE ARBITER]
Yes, I'm the Arbiter
And I know best
[SOLOISTS]
He's impartial
Don't push him
He's unimpressed
[THE ARBITER & SOLOISTS]
You got your tricks
Good for you
But there's no gambit
I don't see through
[THE ARBITER]
Oh, I'm the Arbiter
I know the score
[THE ARBITER & SOLOISTS]
From square one
I'll be watching all 64
[THE 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 know you know
Be good boys
[THE ARBITER & SOLOISTS]
I'm on the case
Can't be fooled
Any objection
Is overruled
[THE ARBITER]
Yes, I'm the Arbiter
And I know best
[SOLOISTS]
He's impartial
Don't push him
He's unimpressed
[THE ARBITER & SOLOISTS]
You got your tricks
Good for you
But there's no gambit
I don't see through
[THE ARBITER]
Oh, I'm the Arbiter
I know the score
[THE ARBITER & SOLOISTS]
From square one
I'll be watching all 64
[THE ARBITER]
Oh, I'm the Arbiter
