Though these days it goes on for weeks before and after the 5th of November.The day arrives and the fireworks are already exploding.
The following chant recalls the reason for the activity, though burning images of the Pope or more recently politicians and other anti-heros also takes place.
"Remember, remember the fifth of NovemberThe gunpowder treason and plot.I see no reason why gunpowder treasonShould ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intentTo blow up king and parliament.Three score barrels were laid belowTo prove old England's overthrow.
By God's mercy he was catchedWith a dark lantern and lighted match.Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ringHoller boys, holler boys, God save the King."
