A view about administrators I came across during a conflict recently was one that defined an admin as bigheaded, self-centred user who thinks he knows best and anything that he says goes. As an administrator myself, I can tell everyone who takes this view that we are far from such things, but we're here to help.
However, a song came to mind, and it is from a musical called Chess. It is a song sung by an Arbiter at the opening ceremony to a chess match. All I've done here is replace the word Arbiter with Administrator, and the common viewpoint that I initially described is put into a song.
(Works best if you have the song playing in the background - track 3 in the Chess musical - Opening Ceremony). :-)

[ADMINISTRATOR]
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 quite 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 Administrator and I know best
[CHORUS] He's impartial, don't push him, he's unimpressed
[ADMINISTRATOR]
You got your tricks
Good for you
But there's no gambit I don't see through
Oh I'm the Administrator I know the score
[CHORUS]
From square one he'll be watching all 64
[ADMINISTRATOR]
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 Administrator and I know best
[CHORUS]
He's impartial, don't push him, he's unimpressed
[ADMINISTRATOR]
You got your tricks
Good for you
But there's no gambit I don't see through
Oh I'm the Administrator I know the score
[CHORUS]
From square one he'll be watching all 64
[AMINISTRATOR]
Yes I'm the Administrator I know the score
[CHORUS]
From square one he's watching all 64
