Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Fireworks Night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in Great Britain, involving bonfires and fireworks displays.


Traditional English rhyme celebrating the failure of the Gunpowder Plot, 1605, and associated with Guy Fawkes Night in the UK.

The Fifth of November (Guy Fawkes Night Poem) Lyrics

  • 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!
