Guy Fawkes night full rhyme, alt. 1
2006-Mar-27, Monday 07:02 pmRemember, remember,
the fifth of November,
gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason
why the gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
'twas his intent
to blow up the King
and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below,
Poor old England to overthrow:
By God's providence
he was catch'd
With a dark lantern
and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
Hip hip hoorah!
A penny loaf to feed the Pope.
A farthing o' cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down.
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar.
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head.
Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead.
Hip hip hoorah! Hip hip hoorah!
This is from the V for Vendetta entry on IMDB. The stanza marks are from me, as the entire rhyme lost any semblence of them in the upload to IMDB.
