Remember remember the 5th of November,
\nThe Gunpowder, Treason and Plot,
\nI know of no reason why the gunpowder treason
\nshould ever be forgot.<\/p>\n
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, ’twas his intent
\nto blow up the King and the Parliament.
\nThree score barrels of powder below,
\nPoor old England to overthrow:
\nBy God’s providence he was catch’d
\nWith a dark lantern and burning match.<\/p>\n
Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring.
\nHolloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
\nHip hip hoorah!<\/p>\n
A penny loaf to feed the Pope.
\nA farthing o’ cheese to choke him.
\nA pint of beer to rinse it down.
\nA faggot of sticks to burn him.
\nBurn him in a tub of tar.
\nBurn him like a blazing star.
\nBurn his body from his head.
\nThen we’ll say ol’ Pope is dead.<\/p>\n
Hip hip hoorah!
\nHip hip hoorah!<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
