<p>Say the bells of St. Clement&#8217;s.</p>
<p>You owe me five farthings,</p>
<p>Say the bells of St. Martin&#8217;s.</p>
<p>When will you pay me?</p>
<p>Say the bells of Old Bailey.</p>
<p>When I grow rich,</p>

<p>Stars can be seen treading the red carpet at Leicester Square’s film premiers. The Square is the heart of the West End entertainment district like Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood,  it is surrounded by floor-mounted plaques with film stars names and cast handprints.</p>
<p>But Leicester Square hasn’t t always been a glamorous location and in1979, when rubbish collectors went on strike, it was used as an overflow dump, earning it the nickname of ‘Fester Square’.</p>

<p>Gunpowder, treason and plot</p>
<p>I see no reason why gunpowder treason</p>
<div>
<p>Should ever be forgot</p>
<p>Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, &#8217;twas his intent</p>
<p>To blow up the King and the Parliament</p>
<p>Three score barrels of powder below</p>
<p>Poor old England to overthrow</p>
<div>
<p>By God&#8217;s providence he was catched</p>
<p>With a dark lantern and burning match</p>
<p>Holloa boys, holloa boys</p>
<p>God save the King!</p>
<p>Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!</p>
<p>A penny loaf to feed ol&#8217; Pope</p>
<p>A farthing cheese to choke him</p>
<p>A pint of beer to rinse it down</p>
<p>A faggot of sticks to burn him</p>
<p>Burn him in a tub of tar</p>
<p>Burn him like a blazing star</p>
<p>Burn his body from his head</p>
<p>Then we&#8217;ll say ol&#8217; Pope is dead.</p>
<p>Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!</p>
