Teary eyes at the window,nWhere did Mum and Dad go?nI wish someone would hurry up and come and get me,nGee I'm scarednThe cat shot through, She saw the light and fled.nCracker night was a real big deal, when I was a little kidnThey started lettin' them off after tea I ran inside and hidnAnd all the dogs from everywhere were underneath me bed.nnWe all went down in our dressing gowns to see the big bonfirenWide eyes watched the straw man burn on a mile-high pile of tiresnHot as hell, big black smell and red hot rings of wire.nnSky rockets zinging,nCatherine wheels spinning,nWhat a flamin' evening,nFire trucks were screamingnSmoky haze hangin' round for daysnAnd Grandma's ears were ringing.nnEvery night after school draggin' bits of wood,nBoxes and branches and rotten old fences,nAnd mattresses were good.nWe even scrounged a vinyl loungenAnd anything we couldnnLittle Guy Fawkes's and letter boxesnBlown all out of shapenLight the wick and back off quick,nAnd make the big escapenCackin' ourselves and rippin' my shirtnScrambling through the gatennSky rockets zingingnCatherine wheels spinningnWhat a flamin' eveningnFire trucks were screamingnSmoky haze hangin' round for daysnAnd Grandma's ears were ringing.nnA house burnt down on the edge of townnWe all took off with PanThis thing whizzed across the roadnAnd nearly hit our carnA bang and spark lit up the parknAnd everyone went Ah! Ah! Ah!nnCracker night was a real big deal,nWhen I was a little kid,nIt seems like only yesterdaynTucked away in bednDreams of schemes and double bungernDaring things we did
