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)
