Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!

"Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" is the name of a song from the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The song, which was written by John Lennon, was inspired by a 19th century poster he had found in an antique store. Many of the things in the song are based off of the poster. It was commonly believed that the line "And of course Henry the Horse dances the waltz" was a reference to the drug heroin (as both "henry" and "horse" are slang names for it), but this is probably incorrect as the horse in the song was taken from the aforementioned poster.
