The Beatles - Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite Speech From Before Take 1 Take 4 And Speech At The End Lyrics

Speech from before Take 1

[John Lennon]
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
Iced water

[Unknown engineer]
Okay man, let's go, lights on

[Paul McCartney]
One, two, one, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
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 hog's head of real fire
In this way, Mr. K will challenge the world!

[Verse 2]
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
Mrs. K and H assure the public
Their production will be second to none
And of course, Henry the Horse dances the waltz
[Instrumental]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

[Verse 3]
The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H will demonstrate 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!

[Outro]
Go down Danny!
Three, four

Speech at End

[Paul McCartney]
Two, three, four
You just need a second

[George Martin]
Yeah, don't - don't shout it out there, John. Just mouth it

[John Lennon]
Well, alright
[Paul McCartney]
You can say it on the track

[George Martin]
You - you'll hear it, now. I mean it'll be on the bass

[John Lennon]
Well, we'll have the Massed Alberts on by then, won't we?

[Paul McCartney]
Just whisper it man

[John Lennon]
Two, three, four

[tambourine shake]
