I've a duty as the referee[00:00:19]
At the start of the match[00:00:23]
On behalf of all our sponsors[00:00:27]
I must welcome you[00:00:28]
Which I do there's a catch[00:00:30]
I don't care if you're a champion[00:00:33]
No one messes with me[00:00:37]
I am ruthless in upholding[00:00:40]
What I know is right[00:00:42]
Black or white as you'll see[00:00:43]
I'm on the case[00:00:46]
Can't be fooled[00:00:47]
Any objection[00:00:49]
Is overruled[00:00:51]
Yes I'm the arbiter and I know best[00:00:53]
He's impartial don't push him he's unimpressed[00:00:56]
You got your tricks[00:00:59]
Good for you[00:01:01]
But there's no gambit I don't see through[00:01:03]
Oh I'm the arbiter I know the score[00:01:07]
From square one he'll be watching all 64[00:01:10]
If you're thinking of the kind of thing[00:01:20]
That we've seen in the past[00:01:23]
Chanting gurus walkie talkies[00:01:27]
Walkouts hypnotists[00:01:28]
Tempers fists not so fast[00:01:30]
This is not the start of world war three[00:01:33]
No political ploys[00:01:37]
I think both your constitutions are terrific so[00:01:41]
Now you know be good boys[00:01:44]
I'm on the case[00:01:46]
Can't be fooled[00:01:47]
Any objection[00:01:49]
Is overruled[00:01:51]
Yes I'm the arbiter and I know best[00:01:53]
He's impartial don't push him he's unimpressed[00:01:57]
You got your tricks[00:02:00]
Good for you[00:02:01]
But there's no gambit I don't see through[00:02:03]
Oh I'm the arbiter I know the score[00:02:07]
From square one he'll be watching all 64[00:02:10]
Yes I'm the arbiter I know the score[00:02:16]
From square one he's watching all 64[00:02:19]
No one can deny that these are difficult times[00:02:38]
No one can deny that these are difficult times[00:02:50]
No one can deny that these are difficult times[00:02:54]
It's the US versus USSR[00:03:00]
Yet we more or less are[00:03:04]
No one can deny that these are difficult times[00:03:06]
To our credit putting all that aside[00:03:11]
We have swallowed our pride[00:03:14]
These are dangerous and difficult times[00:03:17]
It really doesn't matter who comes out on top who gets the chop[00:03:21]
No one's way of life is threatened by a flop[00:03:27]
But we're gonna smash their bastard[00:03:34]
Make him wanna change his name[00:03:37]
Take him to the cleaners and devastate him[00:03:40]
Wipe him out humiliate him[00:03:42]
We don't want the whole world saying[00:03:45]
They can't even win a game[00:03:48]
We have never reckoned[00:03:50]
On coming second[00:03:51]
There's no use in losing[00:03:53]
It's the US versus USSR[00:03:59]
Yet we more or less are[00:04:03]
No one can deny that these are difficult times[00:04:05]
To our credit putting all that aside[00:04:09]
We have swallowed our pride[00:04:13]
These are very difficult and dangerous times[00:04:15]
The value of events like this need not be stressed[00:04:20]
When east and west[00:04:24]
Can meet as comrades ease the tension over drinks[00:04:25]
Through sporting links[00:04:29]
As long as their man sinks[00:04:31]
Whether you are pro or anti[00:04:56]
Or could not care less[00:04:58]
We are here to tell you[00:05:01]
We are here to sell you chess[00:05:02]
Not a chance of you escaping from our wiles[00:05:05]
We've locked the doors we've blocked the aisles[00:05:10]
We've a franchise worth exploiting[00:05:15]
And we will yes we will[00:05:17]
When it comes to merchandising[00:05:20]
We could kill[00:05:22]
When you get up[00:05:25]
When you get up in the morning[00:05:26]
Till you crash at night[00:05:28]
You will have to live your life[00:05:31]
With bishop rook and knight[00:05:32]
Clean your teeth with chequered toothpaste[00:05:35]
Wear our vests[00:05:37]
Our kings and queens on bouncing breasts[00:05:40]
You could even buy a set[00:05:45]
And learn to play[00:05:47]
We don't mind we'll sell you something[00:05:50]
Anyway[00:05:52]
We've done all our market research[00:06:21]
And our findings show[00:06:23]
That this game of chess could be around[00:06:25]
A month or so[00:06:28]
Maybe it's a bit confusing[00:06:30]
For a game[00:06:32]
But rubik's cubes were much the same[00:06:34]
In the end the whole world bought one[00:06:39]
All were gone[00:06:42]
By which time we merchandisers[00:06:44]
Had moved on[00:06:46]
By which time we had moved on[00:07:00]
I'm on the case can't be fooled[00:07:37]
Any objection is overruled[00:07:41]
Don't try to tempt me you've no hope[00:07:46]
I don't like women I don't take dope[00:07:50]
I'm the arbiter I know the score[00:07:54]
From square one he'll be watching all 64[00:07:59]
You got your tricks good for you[00:08:03]
But there is no gambit I don't see through[00:08:06]
I'm the arbiter and I know best[00:08:11]
He's impartial don't push him he's unimpressed[00:08:15]
I'm the arbiter my word is law[00:08:21]
From square one he'll be watching you[00:08:26]
Don't you find it rather touching to behold[00:08:33]
The game that came in from the cold[00:08:41]
Seen for what it is religion plus finesse[00:08:50]
Countries classes creeds as one in[00:09:00]
Love of chess[00:09:05]
