Beatles, The/question

Question
my father told me that in one of the beatles songs at the very end of it, someone said "Paul is dead." Do you know which song it is?

Answer
The song he's thinking of is "I'm So Tired," on the White Album.  At the end, there's some mumbling that some people say is "Paul is dead, miss him, miss him, miss him."  However, it was just some random mumbling that was put at the end of the track on a lark, backwards.

Paul is not dead.  The Beatles did not have a giant conspiracy trying to put clues in their songs.  The hoax was started by a Detroit DJ in 1969.

Thanks for taking your time to ask me a question!

I am a HUGE fan who happened to soak up lots and lots of trivia on her way through Beatle land (I`ve been told I have Beatle radar), so I`m able to answer a question about almost anything!

Experience

I'm a professional music teacher, mainly in vocal music. My particular specialty would be questions on the music theory of the Beatles songs, or ending "who sang what" debates.
