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's head 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
Messrs. 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
