ГВОЗДЬ ПРОГРАММЫ МИСТЕР КАЙТ
Вот и гвоздь программы мистер Кайт -
Вечером он представляет всем свой трамплин.
Хор Хендерсонов с ярмарки
Прошлой в Пабло-Фэнкес с ним -
Поспешим!
Ждут вас кони, люди, в обруч с лентой
Под конец над бочкой с огнём в ней
Пролетит мистер Кей и мир потрясёт!
Непревзойдённый мистер Кей,
Уже в субботу в Бишопгейт,
Свой трюк свершит -
Под Хендерсонов хор певцов
В большое пролетит кольцо.
Поспешим!
Труппа Кей и Эйч напоминает -
Представление будет лишь один раз!
Под гармонь сам Генри-конь станцует вальс.
(соло)
Оркестр с шести до десяти,
Лишь мистер Кей когда взлетит - вмиг все замрут.
А мистер Эйч представить рад
С десятком сальто свой каскад на твёрдый грунт.
Завершены приготовления
Прекрасно время здесь пройдёт для вас,
Ведь скучать мистер Кайт сегодня не даст.

The Beatles BEING FOR THE BENEFIT OF MR.KITE
album
SGT.PEPPER'S... выпуск 1.07.1967г.
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo-Fanques 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 somersets he'll undertake on solid ground
'ving been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill.

FOR THE BENEFIT OF MR. KITE
БЕНЕФИС Г-НА КАЙТА
(JOHN LENNON/PAUL McCARTNEY)
17, 20 февраля, 28, 29, 31 марта 1967г.
Скорее, шедевр изобретательности, чем вдохновения, "Mr. Kite" была написана Джоном Ленноном. Он превратил текст старой цирковой афиши в стихи, спел их под аккомпанемент органа - подобные мелодии обычно звучат в балаганах-и, разрезав полученную пленку с записью на части, подбросил их в воздух и затем вновь склеил. Полученный таким образом жутковатый звук доминирует в инструментальных частях композиции. Первое время Леннон не принимал всерьез собственное сочинение, что вполне логично, если вспомнить процесс его создания.
Перевод песни
NAIL OF THE PROGRAM MISTER KITE
This is the highlight of the program, Mr. Kite -
In the evening, he presents his springboard to everyone.
Chorus Hendersons from the fair
Last at Pablo Fankes with him -
Let's hurry!
Horses are waiting for you, people, in a hoop with a ribbon
At the end, over a barrel with fire in it
Mr. Kay will fly by and the world will shake!
The unsurpassed Mr. Kay
Already on Saturday at Bishopgate,
Will perform his trick -
Under the Henderson Singers Choir
A ring will fly into the big one.
Let's hurry!
The K & H troupe reminds -
The show will be only once!
Under the accordion, Henry the horse himself will dance a waltz.
(solo)
Orchestra from six to ten
Only when Mr. Kay takes off - in a moment everyone will freeze.
And Mr. H is glad to present
With a dozen somersaults, your cascade on solid ground.
Completed preparations
Great time will pass here for you
After all, Mr. Kite will not let you get bored today.

BENEFIS OF MR. KITE
(JOHN LENNON / PAUL McCARTNEY)
February 17, 20, March 28, 29, 31, 1967
Rather a masterpiece of ingenuity than inspiration, "Mr. Kite" was written by John Lennon. He turned the text of an old circus billboard into poetry, sang them to the accompaniment of an organ - such melodies are usually heard in booths - and, having cut the resulting tape into parts, threw them into the air and then glued them back together. The eerie sound thus obtained dominates the instrumental parts of the composition. At first, Lennon did not take his own composition seriously, which is quite logical if you remember the process of its creation.
