Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite! (Takes 1 And 2) Songtext / Lyric

For the benefit of Mr. Kite

There will be a show tonight

On trampoline

The Hendersons will all be there

Late of Pablo Fanque's fair

What a scene

Over men and horses hoops and garters

Lastly through a hogshead of real fire

In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world






The celebrated Mr. K.

Performs his feat on Saturday

At Bishopsgate

The Hendersons will dance and sing

As Mr. Kite flies through the ring

Don't be late

Messrs. K. and H. assure the public

Their production will be second to none

And of course Henry the Horse dances the waltz



The band begins at ten to six

When Mr. K. performs his tricks

Without a sound

And Mr. H. will demonstrate

Ten somersets he'll undertake

On solid ground

Having been some days in preparation

A splendid time is guaranteed for all

And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill



For the benefit of Mr. Kite

There will be a show tonight

On trampoline

The Hendersons will all be there

Late of Pablo Fanque's fair

What a scene

Over men and horses hoops and garters

Lastly through a hogshead of real fire

In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world
