Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite Paroles

(Performed by Eddie Izzard)

For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pable Fanques' 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 will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring, don't be late

Messrs K. and H. assures the public
Their production will be second to none, baby
And of course Henry the Horse gonna do the the waltz

(Oh, you've gotta see it
It's genious, I mean she's brilliant
She's ??? and movement, and ???
Horses, how do they do that stuff You've gotta give it ???
You know, and she's called Henry and it's alot 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 somersaults he's gotta do on solid ground
(whatever they are)

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

(Across the universe, it's me
I'm topping the bill
I've spent years getting to this point
I'm bloody brilliant
??? you've gotta see what I do man
I've got horses and dogs and cats and monkeys and Blue People
It's just, it's such a collection
I've spent years putting it together
You've gotta watch it, you've gotta see it)

It's me, in the thing
yeah
