Lovely Lyrics: Let's Go Fly a Kite

Despite the fact that it snowed today, spring is in the air!  This song captures the carefree spirit that I long for during my seemingly endless hours of homework and reading.  :-)

The fact that I love, love, love Mary Poppins is a bonus.  :-)

Let's Go Fly a Kite
from Mary Poppins

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 a 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, let's go fly a kite!

When you send it flyin' up there,
All at once you're lighter than air!
You can dance on the breeze,
Over houses and trees,
With your first 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!
Let's go fly a kite!


Music and Lyrics by Richard and Robert Sherman


Happy Tails to you!
