Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampolines
The Henderson's will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanque's Fair, what a scene
[Verse 2]
Over men and horses, hoops and garters
Lastly, through a hogs head of real fire
In this way Mr. K will challenge the world
[Verse 3]
The celebrated Mr. K
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate
The Henderson's will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring, don't be late
[Verse 4]
Mrs. K and H assure the public
Their production will be second to none
And of course Henry the horse dances the waltz
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill
Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
