Lyrics[]
- Little more speed,
- Little more rope,
- Little more wind,
- Little more hope,
- Gotta get this stupid kite to fly.
- Gotta make sure it doesn't snag,
- Doesn't drop,
- Doesn't drag,
- Gotta watch out for every little - Whoops.
- Little less speed,
- Little more tack,
- Little less rise,
- Little more slack,
- Gotta keep my wits about me now.
- Gotta make sure it doesn't get the best of me till I get it in the air somehow.
- Millions of little kids do it every day they make a kite and -poof- it's in the sky.
- Leave it to me to have the one fool kite who likes to see a little kid cry.
- Little less talk,
- Little more skill,
- Little less luck,
- Little less will,
- Gotta face this fella eye to eye.
- Now that I've seen you chasing moles,
- Climbing trees,
- Digging holes,
- Catching your string on everything passing by,
- Why not fly?
- Wait a minute, What's it doing?
- It isn't on the ground.
- It isn't in a tree.
- It's in the air.
- Look at that,
- It's caught the breeze now,
- It's past the trees now with room to spare...
- Oh - What a beautiful sight.
- And I'm not such a clumsy guy.
- If I really try I can really fly a kite!
