Let's Go Fly A Kite!

Written by Robert B. Sherman


With tuppence for paper and strings,
you can have your own set of wings.
With your feet on the ground,
you're a bird in flight!
With your fist holding tight,
to the string of your kite!


Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height
Let's go fly a kite
And send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!


When you send it flying up there,
all at once your lighter than air!
You can dance on the breeze,
over 'ouses and trees!
With your fist 'olding tight,
to the string your kite!

Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height
Let's go fly a kite
And send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!







In Memory of my father, Edward, May 27, 1933 - May 24, 2004. One of the fondest childhood memories I have of him are those of our family flying kites. I hope his is flying high.....May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, by the mercy of God rest in peace.
