Maxwell's Silver Hammer (Remastered 2009) - The Beatles

Written by：John Lennon/Paul McCartney

Joan was quizzical studied pataphysical

Science in the home

Late nights all alone with a test tube

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

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 scene

She tells max to stay when the class has gone away

So he waits behind

Writing 50 times I must not be so

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 oh

Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery

Say he must go free

The judge does not agree and he tells them so

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

Silver hammer man
