"On January 31,1967, The Beatles spent a second day at Knole Park, Sevenoaks, Kent, England to complete filming for the 'Strawberry Fields Forever' promotional video. The film was shot in colour, for the benefit of the US market, since UK television was still broadcasting only in black and white. Taking time out from filming John Lennon bought a 1843 poster from an antiques shop in Surrey which provided him with most the lyrics for The Beatles song 'Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite'."

Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video of Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! performed the Beatles from the 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
"Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!" written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Lyrics
"For the benefit of Mr. Kite,
There will be a show tonight
On trampoline.
The Hendersons will all be there.
Late of Pablo Fanque's Fair.
What a scene!
Over men and horses, hoops and garters,
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way
Mr. K.
Will challenge the world!
The celebrated Mr. K.
Performs his feat on Saturday
At Bishopsgate.
The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring.
Don't be late!
Messrs. K. and H. assure the public
Their production will be second to none.
And of course
Henry The Horse
Dances the waltz!
The band begins at ten to six,
When Mr. K. performs his tricks
Without a sound.
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten summersets he'll undertake
On solid ground.
Having been some days in preparation,
A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
And tonight
Mr. Kite
Is topping the bill!"
