I hope this helps:

Traditional rhymes

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot!.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up King and Parli'ment!.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match!.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring!.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!



Traditionally the following verse was also sung, but it has fallen out of favour because of its content!.

A penny loaf to feed the Pope
A farthing o' 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 hoorah!
Hip hip hoorah hoorah!

A variant on the foregoing:

Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot!.
I see no reason, why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot!
A stick or a stake for King James' sake
Will you please to give us a ******
If you can't give us one, we'll take two;
The better for us and the worse for you!

Another piece of popular doggerel:

Guy, guy, guy
Poke him in the eye,
Put him on the bonfire,
And there let him die!.

“Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!."


The second part isn't usually bothered with by kids in the UK, I'm from the UK and i've never heard anyone go beyond the first verse ever in my 33yrs!.
