Penny For the Guy

Penny for the guy C’mon mister give us a penny for the guy This little ragamuffin asked with sad eyes brimming Need the money to buy food she said with a cry We are poor mister tearful eyes still streaming Overhead great sparking rockets fly, The girls guy looked sad and cold C'mon mister a penny for the guy She shouted as the oohs and aahs echoed around Great Catherine wheels spun round and round Sending sparks far and wide, in a colourful array The smell of hot chestnuts making us drool November the 5th is a fine fun day Then through the smoke of the bonfire Enjoying the fun sparkler in hand …. I saw A cracker jack was lit by the sad guy He jumped so high, ran, staying still no more The guy she pushed for many a night Was her brother who had been bribed to stay still He tried but was the fright of the cracker jack that made him jump and run up the hill.
