ARBITER’S SONG

I've a duty as the referee
As we restart the clock
Of reminding all and sundry I took
grave offense
At events
In Bangkok
Just a hint of trouble this time around
And I’ll be on your back
I will jump on all offenders from a
massive height
Don’t invite
Any flak
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
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
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
Power passes to me
You can play like Fischer,
Capablanca, Tal combined
I don’t mind
Please feel free
They all thought they were the big
fromage
But they don’t have my clout
I control the match, I start it, I
can call it off
Kasparov
Found that out
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
