Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite! (Take 4) 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 Fanques 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!

La 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 summersets 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

...Three, four
One, two, three, four
Yeah yeah don't shout it out though John, just mouth it.
Well, alright.
You can say it on the track.
You'll hear it on the track. I mean it will be on the base.
But we'll have the... by then won't we?
Just whisper it man.
Two, three, four
