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.
Oh, oh, oh…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, lets go fly a kite.
When you send it flying up there all at once you’re lighter than air.
You can dance on the breeze over houses and trees
With your fist holding tight to the string of your kite.
Oh, oh, oh…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, lets go fly a kite.
