Polearms!

The 1st Edition of AD&D had tons of variations on polearms. To be fair, history has seen a lot of different versions of sharp-thing-on-a-stick, but it seemed like AD&D tried to come up with statistics for every single one of them.
The other day I was watching a video, and for some reason it made me think of that.
So I just had to make my own lyrics...
Ain't no Glaive Gonna Hold My Guisarme Down
There ain't no glaive, gonna hold my guisarme down
There ain't no glaive, gonna hold my guisarme down
When I hear that polearm sound
I'm gonna get up off the ground
Ain't no glaive, gonna hold my guisarme down
Well I fought an orc with a ranseur,
And one with a big bardiche
I killed the one with the halberd 'cause he ain't got no reach
There ain't no glaive, gonna hold my guisarme down
There ain't no glaive, gonna hold my guisarme down
When I hear that polearm sound
I'm gonna get up off the ground
Ain't no glaive, gonna hold my guisarme down
Well look down the dungeon hallway
What do you think I see?
A guy with a bec de corbin, a-coming after me
There ain't no glaive, gonna hold my guisarme down
There ain't no glaive, gonna hold my guisarme down
When I hear that polearm sound
I'm gonna get up off the ground
Ain't no glaive, gonna hold my guisarme down
Well meet me mister meet me,
Meet me in the middle of the yard
And if my poleaxe fails me, I'll hit you with a fork-fauchard
There ain't no glaive, gonna hold my guisarme down
There ain't no glaive, gonna hold my guisarme down
When I hear that polearm sound
I'm gonna get up off the ground
Ain't no glaive, gonna hold my guisarme down
