Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite! (Speech from Before Take 1 / Take 4 & Speech at End) Lyrics

For the benefit of Mr. Kite
Iced water
Okay man, let's go, lights on
One, two
One, two, three, four

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 hog's head of real fire
In this way, Mr. K will challenge the world

The celebrated Mr. K performs his feat on Saturday at Bishops gate
The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring, don't be late
Mrs. K and H assure the public
Their production will be second to none
And of course, Henry the Horse dances the waltz

La la la la la la la la la la la la la

The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H will demonstrate ten Somerset 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

Go down Danny

Three, four
One, two, three, four
Yeah, don't, don't shout it out there, John, just mouth it
Well, alright
You can say it on the track
You, you'll hear it, now, I mean it'll be on the bass
Well, we'll have the Massed Albert son by then, won't we?
Just whisper it man
Two, three, four
