1
Teary eyes at the window,
2
Where did Mum and Dad go?
3
I wish someone would hurry up and come and get me,
4
Gee I'm scared
5
The cat shot through, She saw the light and fled.
6
Cracker night was a real big deal, when I was a little kid
7
They started lettin' them off after tea I ran inside and hid
8
And all the dogs from everywhere were underneath me bed.
9
We all went down in our dressing gowns to see the big bonfire
10
Wide eyes watched the straw man burn on a mile-high pile of tyres
11
Hot as hell, big black smell and red hot rings of wire.
12
Sky rockets zinging,
13
Catherine wheels spinning,
14
What a flamin' evening,
15
Fire trucks were screaming
16
Smoky haze hangin' round for days
17
And Grandma's ears were ringing.
18
Everynight after school draggin' bits of wood,
19
Boxes and branches and rotten old fences,
20
And mattresses were good.
21
We even scrounged a vinyl lounge
22
And anything we could
23
Little Guy Fawkes's and letter boxes
24
Blown all out of shape
25
Light the wick and back off quick,
26
And make the big escape
27
Cackin' ourselves and rippin' my shirt
28
Scrambling through the gate
29
Sky rockets zinging
30
Catherine wheels spinning
31
What a flamin' evening
32
Fire trucks were screaming
33
Smoky haze hangin' round for days
34
And Grandma's ears were ringing.
35
A house burnt down on the edge of town
36
We all took off with Pa
37
This thing whizzed across the road
38
And nearly hit our car
39
A bang and spark lit up the park
40
And everyone went Ah! Ah! Ah!
41
Cracker night was a real big deal,
42
When I was a little kid,
43
It seems like only yesterday
44
Tucked away in bed
45
Dreams of schemes and double bunger
46
Daring things we did
