John Lennon (in 1972) - "Paul wrote it. I helped with some of the lyric."
John Lennon (in 1980) - "Paul's song. Maybe I did part of it, but it was his concept."
Paul McCartney (in 1994) - "'Magical Mystery Tour' was co-written by John and I, very much in our fairground period. One of our great inspirations was always the barker: 'Roll up! Roll up!' The promise of something-- the newspaper ad that says 'guaranteed not to crack,' the 'high class' butcher, 'satisfaction guaranteed' from Sgt. Pepper... You'll find that pervades a lot of my songs. If you look at all the Lennon/McCartney things, it's a thing we do a lot."
