The Bonfire Boys Song

We are the Bonfire Boys

We are the Bonfire Boys

We know our Manners

We collect the Tanners

We are Respected wherever we go

When we march along Cinque Ports Street

Doors and windows open wide

We’re the Boys that make most noise

We’re the Boys that built the Guy

We are the Bonfire Boys.

(Sung to the tune of Sussex by the Sea)
