"Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" (Capo: 3rd. fret)
____Intro:
____Verse: 1
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 hog'shead 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 flys through the ring don't be late
Messrs. K and H. assure the public
their production will be second to none
G F# ^Bm (^ = 3/4 time)
And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz!
____Whirling Circus Waltz Music: 3/4 time
F#________________
____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 Mr. Kite is topping the bill.
