Pikes Party 1991 Song
To the tune of ---- "Che Sera Sera" ---- By Ray
When I was just a little boy
I asked my mother what will I be
Will I be handome?
Will I be rich?
Here's what she said to me
-------------------------------------------------
Be a Pike, a Pike
Oh there's nothing more I'd like
Instead of a useless tyke
You should be a Pike
Given this piece of sound advise
We were uncertain, we were confused
We racked our brains and
We scratched our heads
Which kept the fleas amused
-------------------------------------------------
What's a Pike, a Pike?
It's a fish or a pole and spike
P'rhaps mum was taking the Mike
What's a pike, a Pike?
Truth is a damned elusive goal
We were just children pulling the strings
As we grew older
Slowly we learned
Pikehands do stupid things!
-------------------------------------------------
That's a Pike, a Pike!
No worries, no cares, no fear
As long as he's got his beer
That's a Pike, a Pike!
First There were just few of us
Each passing year though we spent the days
Swelling our members
All of us proud
Practising Piking ways
-------------------------------------------------
We're all Pikes, we're Pikes!
We're like the Three Musketeers
Except we're the must get beers!
We're all Pikes, we're Pikes!
(Slowly)
Sadly the years must take their toll
Some of us balding, some of us grey
But there's a future
We'll teach the young
this is our family way
-------------------------------------------------
Be a Pike, a Pike
Blood brothers is what we are
We'll travel from near of far
For a Pike's a Pike
-------------------------------------------------
We're all Pikes - we're Pikes
To the tune of --- "Flash Bang Wallop" ---- By Ray
(Spoken by a Pike) ---- Not all our activities are senseless stunts. Many Pikes are involved in charity work. Jeff led the way with his adventurous parachute jump........
(All Pikes singing)
Flash bang wallop what a Pikehand!
What a Pikehand! What a way to go!
There was Jeff jumping out the plane
It must be very scary
'Cos he made some acid rain!
Poor chap - didn't think
Had a curry on the night before
What a Pikehand! What a Pikehand!
Didn't have an ozone friendly bum
Stick it in the family al - bum!
(Spoken by a Pike) ---- And then there was Bryan who climbed the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales in 24 hours........
(All Pikes singing)
Flash bang wallop what a Pikehand!
What a Pikehand climbing all those hills!
There was Bri bringing up the rear
Bringing up his breakfast
On his mountain gear
Ben Nevis, Snowdon too
All the way up Scafell Pike - Pike?
What a Pikehand! What a Pikehand!
Lost a few more inches from his ample tum
Stick it in the family al - bum!
(Spoken by a Pike) ---- Even Eve has been known to go all the way to the bank just to give money to strangers........
(All Pikes singing)
Flash bang wallop what a Pikehand!
What a Pikehand way to park a car!
There was Eve, she was doing fine
Straight'ning up her tyres
On the long red line
Whithdrawn thirty quid
Just to give the warden some
What a Pikehand! What a Pikehand!
Easy goes the money when you're Bryan's mum
Stick it in the family al - bum!
(Spoken by a Pike) ---- And let us not forget those Pikes who selflessly earn their living handling the nation's dirty work........
(All Pikes singing)
Flash bang wallop what a Pikehand!
What a Pikehand way to earn a bob!
There was Bob wading through the sewer
Didn't seem to notice that
His friends were getting fewer
He does dirty big jobs
He likes to get his hands stuck in
What a Pikehand! What a Pikehand!
Now he never ever sucks his thumb
Stick it in the family al - bum!
We're all Pikehands! We're all Pikehands!
And we're very happy that this song is done
Stick it in the family! - Stick it in the family!
Stick it in the family al - bum!
