Guy Fawkes and his companions did the scheme contrive To blow the King in Parliament all up alive. Three score barrels laid below To prove old England's overthrown. 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 penorth of cheese to choke him, A pint of beer to wash it down, And a jolly good fire to burn him. Hulloah, boys, hulloah, boys, Make the bells ring. Hulloah, boys, hulloah, boys, God save the King. Hip, hip, hooray!
