Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite
[MR. KITE]
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
Have you seen it? It's great, they got stuff
Over men and horses, hoops and garters
Lastly, through a hogshead of real fire
In this way, Mr. K. will challenge the world
With the blue people
They're great
They're just chilled out
The celebrated Mr. K
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate
Nice neck of the woods
The Hendersons, they're gonna dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring
Oh, don't be late
Messrs. K and H assure the public
Their production is second to none, baby
And of course, Henry the Horse gonna do the waltz
Oh, you gotta see it, it's genius
I mean she's brilliant, she's got the stuff, and movement, and f- waltz...
Horses, how do they do that stuff?
You gotta give her sugar, you know, and
She's called Henry and it's a lot of explanation
But don't worry about it kids, okay?
Just tune in, turn off, drop out
Drop in, switch off, switch on, and explode
The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten somersets he's gonna do on solid ground
Whatever they are
Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight, Mr. Kite is topping the bill, baby
Across the universe
It's me
I'm on top of the bill
I spent years getting to this point
I'm bloody brilliant
This is gold, you gotta see what I do, man
I got horses and dogs
And cats, and monkeys, and blue people
It's just, it's such a collection
I spent years putting it together
You gotta watch it
You gotta see it
It's me
In the thing
Yeah
