The Fifth of November (Guy Fawkes Night Poem) Lyrics

• 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 Parliament
• All up alive.
• Threescore barrels, laid below,
• To prove old England's overthrow.
• But, by God's providence, him they catch,
• With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
• A stick and a stake
• For King James's sake!
• If you won't give me one,
• I'll take two,
• The better for me,
• And the worse for you.
• A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
• A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
• A pint of beer to wash it down,
• And a jolly good fire to burn him.
• Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
• Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
• Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!
