Remember, remember the Fifth of November, The Gunpowder Treason and Plot, I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes and his companions Did the scheme contrive, To blow the King and Parli'ment All up alive. Three-score barrels, laid below, To prove old England’s overthrow; By God's providence he was catch'd With a dark lantern, and lighting a match. A stick, a stake, For King James sake! If you won’t give me one-- I’ll take two! Holloa boys, Holloa boys! let the bells ring! Holloa boys, holloa boys! God Save The King! Hip, Hip, Hooor-r-r-ray!
A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
And what should we do with him? Burn him! |
