      C              G
The Hendersons will all be there
 Bb             Dm           A
Late of Pablo Fanques Fair- what a scene!
     Dm             Dm/C
Over men and horses hoops and garters
  Bb              A           Dm  
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
        Bb      A                      Dm    Bb  A   Dm    G
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world!

The band begins at ten to six
     Bb        Dm                 G              G+
When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound
    C             G 
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
     Bb               Dm           A
Ten summersets he'll undertake on solid ground
      Dm                Dm/C
We've been some days in preparation

A splendid time is guaranteed for all
      Bb        A7                   Dm    A
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill!
