Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, from their 1967 album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." It was primarily written and composed by John Lennon, with additional input claimed by Paul McCartney. The song is credited to Lennon–McCartney.
W. F. Wallett William Frederick "W.F." Wallett (November 1806 in Hull, England – 13 March 1892 at Beeston, Nottinghamshire, England) was a popular circus clown in Victorian England, who also enjoyed modest celebrity in the United States. After he performed before Queen Victoria in 1844 at Windsor Castle, Wallett began promoting himself as "the Queen's Jester," and described himself this way in the title of his 1870 autobiography. For many years, he performed in the circus owned by his good friend Pablo Fanque (whose name is familiar to many today from his mention in The Beatles song, "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!") Wallett also helped manage Fanque's circus.
