Durante as filmagens do clipe "Strawberry", Lennon compra num antiquário esse cartaz de 1843. Fascinado, escreve a música "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!", de que todos os versos têm origem no precioso documento.

John Lennon praticamente tirou toda a letra da música em um cartaz, que comprou em Kent, enquanto filmava o clip de 'Strawberry Fields'. O cartaz falava sobre um antigo circo pertencente a um certo Mr. Kite. John Lennon confessou que compôs a música só para preencher sua cota de faixas em Sgt. Pepper. Os ruídos estranhos ouvidos no meio são obtidos por pedaços de fita de aúdio picotadas e coladas aleatóriamente.

The Beatles
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight
On trampoline.
There will be a show tonight
On trampoline.
The Hendersons will all be there.
Late of Pablo Fanque's Fair,
What a scene.
Late of Pablo Fanque's Fair,
What a scene.
Over men and horses, hoops and garters,
Lastly, through a hog's head of real fire;
In this way Mr. K will challenge the world.
Lastly, through a hog's head of real fire;
In this way Mr. K will challenge the world.
The celebrated Mr. K
Performs his feat on Saturday
At Bishop's Gate.
Performs his feat on Saturday
At Bishop's Gate.
The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring.
Don't be late!
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring.
Don't be late!
Misters K and H assure the public
Their production will be second to none
And, of course, Henry the horse dances the waltz.
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
When Mr. K performs his tricks
Without a sound
And Mr. H will demonstrate;
Ten somersets he'll undertake
On solid ground.
Ten somersets 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.
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill.
