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 Fanque's 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 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

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
