Gruesome Gunpowder Plot Song

Parody of Firework by Katy Perry
From Series 10 Episode 5
LYRICS:
The birth of fireworks
An ancient Chinese tale
Wei Boyang tried to live forever
But was doomed to fail
​
He mixed three powders up
Thought they would be a hit
He didn't live so long
But now the spark was lit
​
Cos when you add some heat
And then retreat
It starts to smoke and spark
And lights the dark...
​
[Oh! This really seems to help my psoriasis]
​
Yes, he had made an eczema cure
Applied the mixture to the sore
Not what he was looking for
Must be more to this for sure
​
Little fireworks go zoom, zoom, zoom
But fill a barrel and it's boom, boom, boom
We'll blow the king across the room, room, room
Then Catholic England can resume-sume-sume
​
Cos they were using gunpowder
That started as an eczema cure
But Guy Fawkes' plan did not go bang
And soon he was a captured man
​
Now no matter where you go
Fireworks put on a show
Hear the crowds go aah, aah, ooh
Entertainment just for you.
