72 Miles From The Sea

Remember, remember the fifth of November

Gunpowder, treason, and plot

For that was the day Guy Fawkes failed

To blow up the bloody lot

Are you wearing a Guy Fawkes mask?

Hoping to get coins in your cap

“Penny for the guy” is that the aim?

Well, you’re losing out to that wino chap

My Bonfire night cracker

Always good for a thrill

My favourite little sparkler

I like to call “Catherine will”

Bangers and sparklers

Weren’t the fireworks

At the Bonfire night party

But the girls I invited

Remember, remember the fifth of November

Gunpowder, treason, and plot.

They had the right approach back then

Blow up the bloody lot

We learned about food groups today at school

Confections, vegetables, meat, and protein

Dairy, fruits, grains, pulses, and legumes

But what about Alcohol, Nicotine and Caffeine

It provides far more problems

Than any solutions it brings

For communism doesn't work

As people like to own things
