It's November the 5th don't you know
Time for a celebration let's go
They call it Guy Fawkes night
Let's set the sky alight
All the bonfires they will glow
The heavens are on fire yo
It's November the 5th don't you know

Many years they have passed 
Since I was just a wee boy
I made myself a fancy guy
It was my pride and joy
Old jeans and jumper stuffed
With newspapers would suffice 
Penny for the guy mister
To buy my fireworks that's nice

All the way back in time
In the year of 1605
A plot was quietly hatched 
Yeah man that's no jive
Guy Fawkes he was called
King James the 1st he planned to kill
In the bowels of parliament 
Barrels of gunpowder did spill 

A Catholic man he was true
Didn't like the Protestant King
So he and his fellow plotters
Death and carnage would bring
A letter to Lord Monteagle things turned sour
They were foiled at the eleventh hour
Parliament avoided the slaughter 
Guy Fawkes was hung drawn and quartered 

It's November the 5th don't you know
Time for a celebration let's go
They call it Guy Fawkes night
Let's set the sky alight
All the bonfires they will glow
The heavens are on fire yo
It's November the 5th don't you know
