Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite lyrics

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. Kite will challenge the world!

The celebrated Mr. Kite

Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate

The Hendersons will dance and sing

As Mr. Kite flys 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. Kite 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!
