The Beatles' song "Penny Lane" was written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon in 1967. It was recorded and released in February of the same year, and appeared on the album "Magical Mystery Tour". The song reached number two on the British charts and number seven on the American charts.

Paul McCartney wrote the music for "Penny Lane" while John Lennon wrote the lyrics. The song was inspired by their childhood memories in the city of Liverpool. "Penny Lane" is a street near their home, and it was frequented by musicians who used to panhandle.

The song was recorded in several takes, and the Beatles used a recording technique called "double tracking" to create the effect of two voices. They also used unusual instruments such as wind instruments and drums.

"Penny Lane" is a happy, upbeat song that reflects the Beatles' style of music from that period. The lyrics of the song refer to several places and events in Liverpool, making it a very local song.
