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 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 Bishop's Gate The Hendersons will dance and sing As Mr. Kite flies through the ring Don't be late! Misters 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
