Penny For the Guy
Catherine wheels and sparklers
lighting up the night
Hot chestnuts on the fire
As bonfires burn bright
A penny for the guy
who tried to kill the king
and blow the House of Lords sky high
like a rocket in the wind
Cracker jacks exploding
as they celebrate this bloke
whose effigy is burning
Going up in smoke
