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!
