we all went down in our dressing gowns to see the big bonfire

wide eyes the straw man burn on a mile- high pile of tyres

what a flaming everning,

fire trucks were screaming
A7 D
smoky haze hangin' round for days and grandma's ears were ringing
every night after school draggin' bit of wood,
boxes branches and rotton old fences
and mattresses were good
we even scrounge a vinyl lounge
and anything we could
Little Guy Fawker's and letter boxes
blown all out shape
light the wick and back off quick,
and make the big ecaspe
Crackin' ourselves ripping' my shirt
scambling through the gate
sky rockets singing
catherine wheel spinning
what a flamin' evening
fire trucks were screaming
smoky haze hanging round for days
and grandma ears were ringing .
house burnt down on the edge of
we all took off with par
this thing wizzed across the road nearly hit our car
a bang and spark lit up the park
and everyone went AH! AH! AH!
cracker night was a real big deal
when I was little kid,
it seems like yesterday
tucked away in bed
dream of sceames and double bunger
daring thing we did.
