I don't know the author, and a recent search was only able to find a version modified for archers, so I thought I'd record this song here.

Sung to "Let's Go Fly a Kite"


Well in tourneys I constantly fall
To the skilled men and women one and all,
But in melees and wars I have dropped them in scores
'Cause in battles I go with a nine-foot-long pike!

Oh oh oh, let's go pike a knight.
Why die in some fair fight?
Let's go pike a knight, and watch him crumble.
Wait 'til they're occupied, then stab them in their side
Oh let's go, pike a knight.

The pike is the weapon for me
For I’m not very good in melee,
But from a nine feet away, I will make the French pay
With a counterstrike, thanks to my long pike.

Oh oh oh, let's go pike a knight.
Why die in some fair fight?
Let's go pike a knight, and watch him crumble.
Wait 'til they're occupied, then stab them in their side
Oh let's go, pike a knight.

Oh, the men at arms are lovely to see,
Those armored men protecting me.
While they fight in their ranks, I harass the foes flanks.
With the thrusts that I strike, from my nine-foot-long pike.

Oh oh oh, let's go pike a knight.
Why die in some fair fight?
Let's go pike a knight, and watch him crumble.
Wait 'til they're occupied, then stab them in their side
Oh let's go, pike a knight.
