Remember, remember, the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
Had Guy Fawkes succeeded
The tip-off not heeded
He would have blown-up
The whole lot!
Deep in Westminster’s cellars
Guy and some other fellas
Stashed gunpowder set to go “bang!”
Instant death it would bring
To the Protestant King
When the Catholics exploded the gang!
But succeed they did not
Someone spoke of the plot
And Guy and his cronies were caught
They paid with their lives
The conspirators died
And the dastardly scheme came to naught.
Still Fawkes we remember
Each fifth of November
And call to mind his grisly plan
We stack a bonfire
Build it higher and higher
Topped off with a “guy” of the man!
