Go fly a kite, tie your troubles to the tail,
They'll be blown away by a merry gale!
Go fly a kite, toss your worries to the wind,
And they won't come back, they'll be too chagrined!

Go on, make friends with the sky, have a talk with the sun,
It's the bright way to live, if you'll pardon the pun!

Go fly a kite, you'll imagine you're a king,
'Cause you've got your world on a piece of string!

Oh, go fly a kite, tie your troubles to the tail,
They'll be blown away by a merry gale!
Ooh-ooh, go fly a kite, toss your worries to the wind,
And they won't come back, they're gonna be too chagrined!

Go on, make friends with the sky, have a talk with the sun,
It's the bright way to live, if you'll pardon the pun!

I'd like to see you fly fly, fly a kite and you'll imagine thar you were the king,
'Cause you've got your world on a piece of,
I'm all out of string!
