Maxwell's Silver Hammer
(Lennon-McCartney)
Joan was quizzical, studied metaphysical
        Science in the home
        Late nights all alone with a test-tube
        Ohh-oh-oh-oh...
        Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine
        Calls her on the phone
        "Can I take you out to the pictures
        Joa-oa-oa-oan?"
        But as she's getting ready to go
        A knock comes on the door...
        
        Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
        Came down upon her head
        Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
        Made sure that she was dead
        
        Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool          again
        Teacher gets annoyed
        Wishing to avoid an unpleasant sce-e-e-ene
        She tells Max to stay when the class has gone          away
        So he waits behind
        Writing 50 times "I must not be so-o-o-oo..."
        But when she turns her back on the boy
        He creeps up from behind
        
        Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
        Came down upon her head
        Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
        Made sure that she was dead
        
        B.C. Thirty-One said "we caught a dirty one"
        Maxwell stands alone
        Painting testimonial pictures ohh-oh-oh-oh
        Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
        Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free)
        The judge does not agree and he tells them          so-o-o-oo
        But as the words are leaving his lips
        A noise comes from behind
        
        Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
        Came down upon his head
        Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
        Made sure that he was dead
