Guy Fawkes' Day was one of the highlights of the year. Boys leading a donkey, all dressed as guys, used to go round the village singing:

Remember, remember, the fifth of November,

The gunpowder treason and plot.

I see no reason why gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot.

With a dark lantern,

With a light match,

Holla, boys, holla, boys, make the bell ring.

Holla, boys, holla, boys, God save the King.

If you haven't got no money, give us some beer,

Guy Fawkes comes only once a year,

Bang, crash, wallop!

Then they let off fireworks with a cannon and real gunpowder.
