I think the unofficial story goes that Chris Murphy and Andrew Scott had each written half a song, and then Frankensteined them together, just like Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings did with "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature."
I can't be sure, but if I had to guess, the parts with hard music and relatively soft lyrics are Andrew's, and the bits with happy-cutesy music and dark twisted lyrics are Murph's. It gives the whole song a great "Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde" sort of feel!
