Hastings Borough Bonfire Society

Remember Remember the fifth of November
The gunpowder treason and plot. 
I see no reason why gunpowder treason 
should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes Guy, twas his intent
to blow up King and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
to prove old England's overthrow.

By God's mercy he was catched
with a dark lantern and lighted match.
Holler boys Holler boys let the bells ring
Holler boys Holler boys God save the King.

A penny loaf to feed the Pope
A farthing o'cheese to choke him
A pint of beer to rinse it down
A faggot of sticks to burn him

Burn him in a tub of tar
Burn him like a blazing star
Burn his body from his head
Then we'll say old Pope is dead

Hip Hip Hoorah!
Hip Hip Hoorah!
Hip Hip Hoorah!
