Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite - Eddie Izzard Lyrics


[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

(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, they're gonna dance and sing

As Mr. Kite flies through the ring

(Oh, don't be late.)

Ms. K and H. assure the public

Their production is second to none, baby

And of course, Henry The Horse gonna do the waltz!

Oh, you gotta see it, it's genius!

I mean she's brilliant, she's got the stuff, and movement, and f- waltz...

Horses, how do they do that stuff?

You gotta give her sugar, you know, and... she's called Henry and it's a lot 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 somersets he's gonna do on solid ground

(Whatever they are!)

Having been some days in preparation

A splendid time is guaranteed for all

And tonight, Mr. Kite is topping the bill, baby!

Across the universe!

It's me! I'm on top of the bill!

I spent years getting to this point!

I'm bloody brilliant!

This is golden, you gotta see what I do, man...

I got horses, and dogs

Cats, and monkeys, and blue people...

It's just- it's such a collection!

I spent years putting it together!

You gotta watch it!

You gotta see it

It's me!

...in the thing!

(...yeah!)
