chess in concert – the arbiter lyrics
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.
soloists:
i’m on the case, i’m on the case,
can’t be fooled. can’t be fooled.
any objection any objection
is overruled. is overruled.
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, you got your tricks,
good for you, good for you,
but there’s no gambit but there’s no gambit
i don’t see through. i don’t see through.
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
const-tutions are terrific,
so know you know,
be good boys.
soloists:
i’m on the case, i’m on the case,
can’t be fooled. can’t be fooled.
any objection any objection
is overruled. is overruled.
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, you got your tricks,
good for you, good for you,
but there’s no gambit but there’s no gambit
i don’t see through. i don’t see through.
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,
i know the score.
the arbiter & soloists:
from square one
i’ll be watching all 64.
