LONDON; Sept 19, 1996 - Lyrics for the 1967 song "Being for the Benefit of Mr 
Kite" were sold yesterday for 66,400 pounds ($103,500) at a Sotheby's auction 
in London. 

Handwritten by John Lennon during the creation of the "Sgt. Pepper" album, the 
lyric sheet features a verse and a half of the song in blue ballpoint, with the 
title highlighted in black and gold paint, and penciled notes on the reverse. 

Lennon wrote the lyrics based upon an early 19th century circus poster that he'd 
had bought from an antique shop.
