Pikes Party 2005 Song

To the tune of ---- "Robin Hood" (50's TV series) ---- By Ray

Pikehands All, Pikehands All,
Gathered here today,
Pikehands All, Pikehands All,
We're around to stay,
Quick to respond,
To nature's call,
Pikehands All, Pikehands All, Pikehands All.

We're just a band of brothers, cousins, sons and nephews too,
Related by blood or getting wed,
Though really if we're honest we accept the modern view,
It's OK simply to share a bed.

OK Tim, OK Tim,
Waive the golden rule,
OK Tim, OK Tim,
We don't mind at all,
You're one of us,
Not one of them,
OK Tim, OK Tim, OK Tim.

Now you might think it funny there's no ladies to be seen,
You're thinking what a dreadful carry on,
But like Robin Hood before us and his men in Lincoln Green,
We've lined up and all made Marion.

Yes we did, yes we did,
Hear the clarion,
Yes we did, yes we did,
All made Marion,
Excluding Ray,
Who ran and hid,
Yes we did, yes we did, yes we did.

Spoken
What did the Sheriff of Nottingham say when he got bored with his wife?
Response
Somebody turn the page!!

Now here's a knotty problem that's beseting little Joe,
The knottiest of problems that there's been,
The weekend's held in April but as ev'ryone knows,
It's not until May that Joe's eighteen.

He's too young, he's too young,
To join these Pikehand names,
He's too young, he's too young,
To join in grown up games,
Just cause his dad,
Mis-timed his fun,
He's too young, he's too young, he's too young.

Our Richard's a guitarist, Al and Nick are strummers too,
While banging on the drums is George's thing,
Our David's quite a singer, fact our talents are not as few,
So why keep asking Graham to sing?

Out of tune, out of tune,
Always just off key,
Out of tune, out of tune,
His A-flat's a B,
Just like a wolf,
Howls at the moon,
Out of tune, out of tune, out of tune.

Well now our song is over you'll be very pleased to hear,
We Pikes will all revert to merry men,
It isn't all glad tidings and despair is very near,
The next up's Nick till half past ten!
