2. The Poem
Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
the Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason should ever
be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, t’was 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 catch’d with a dark
lantern and lighted match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
Hip hip hoorah!

9. A penny for the guy
• Children take their Guys on the corner of
the street and beg passers-by for “A Penny
for the guy”.
Knock at the door,
Ring the bell.
Have you got a penny for
Singing so well?
• If you haven’t got a penny
A ha’penny will do.
If you haven’t got a ha’penny
Then God bless you !!!
