George Martin feat. Billy Connolly Lyrics
"Being For The Benefit Of 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 Fanques Fair, what a scene
Over men and horses, hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead 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
Messrs. 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

Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight, Mr. Kite is topping the bill
