"On February, 17, 1967, The Beatles started recording a new John Lennon song 'Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite'. at Abbey Road studios, London. John's lyrics for the song came almost entirely from an antique poster advertising a circus performance scheduled to take place in Rochdale, Lancashire, in February 1843. John had purchased the poster in Sevenoaks on January 31 while The Beatles were on location for the filming of the 'Strawberry Fields Forever' promotional film."

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!"
