Happy Guy Fawkes Day!"Remember, remember, the fifth of November, Gunpowder Treason and Plot"
Happy Guy Fawkes Day!"Remember, remember, the fifth of November, Gunpowder Treason and Plot"
Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent
To blow up the King and the Parliament
Three score barrels of powder below
Poor old England to overthrow
By God's providence he was catched
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holloa boys, holloa boys
God save the King!
Hip hip hooray!
Hip hip hooray!
A penny loaf to feed ol' Pope
A farthing cheese to choke him
A pint of beer to rinse it down
A ****** of sticks to burn him
Burn him in a tub of tar
Burn him like a blazing star
Burn his body from his head
Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead.
Hip hip hooray!
Hip hip hooray!
Basically, a group of Britishers (including several ex-mercenaries) were upset at the monarchy's religious intolerance of Catholics, so they tried to blow up the House of Lords (where Parliament meets) with 36 barrels of gunpowder.What is plot about?
I did not know that. The Brits really like their traditions.to this day the buffters check the cellers of westminister palce for "gun Powder" before Her majesty the Queen opens the state session of the British Parliment
They ought to. This economic crisis thing isn't going too good for them.I did not know that. The Brits really like their traditions.
