“being for the benefit of mister kite” (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 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!

VERSE 2:

The celebrated Mr. K.
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate

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!

VERSE 3:

The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound

And Mr. H will demonstrate
Ten summersets 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!
