At every Sussex Bonfire the members of the societies gather round the bonfire and before it is lit they chant the following:
Remember, Remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, guy, t`was his intent
To blow up king and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England`s overthrow.
By god`s mercy he was catch`d
With a darkened lantern and burning match.
Holla boys, holla boys, Let the bells ring.
Holla boys, holla boys, God save the King.
