Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For the benefit of Mister 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'shead of real fire
In this way, Mister K will challenge the world
[Verse 2]
The celebrated Mister K
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate
The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mister 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
[Verse 3]
The band begins at ten to six
When Mister K performs his tricks without a sound
And Mister 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 Mister Kite is topping the bill
Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
