Speech from before Take 1
John Lennon: For the benefit of Mr. Kite
John: Iced water
[?]: Okay man, let's go, lights on
Paul McCartney: One, two, one, two, three, four
Take 4
[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
Messrs. 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]

Three, four
Speech at End
Paul: Two, three, four
George Martin: Yeah, don't - don't shout it out there, John. Just mouth it
John: Well, alright
Paul: [?] can say it on the track
George M.: You - you'll hear it, now. I mean it'll be on the bass
John: Well, we'll have the Massed Alberts on by then, won't we?
[?]: Just whisper it man
John: Two, three, four
