Maxwell's Silver Hammer Lyrics - Beatles

Joan was quizzical 

Studied pataphysical 

Science in the home 

Late nights all alone with a test tube, oh, oh, oh, oh 

Maxwell Edison 

Majoring in medicine 

Calls her on the phone 

"Can I take you out to the pictures, Joan?" 

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 

Clang, clang, Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead 

Back in school again

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Maxwell plays the fool again 

Teacher gets annoyed 

Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene 

She tells Max to stay 

When the class has gone away 

So he waits behind 

Writing fifty times "I must not be so", oh, oh, oh 

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 

Clang, clang, Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead 

P.C. 31 

Said "We've caught a dirty one" 

Maxwell stands alone 

Painting testimonial pictures, oh, 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, oh, oh, oh 

But as the words are leaving his lips 

A noise comes from behind 

Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon his head 

Clang, clang, Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that he was dead 

Silver hammer win
