Let's Go Pike a Knight

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 six-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 six 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 I strike, from my six-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.
