03 Maxwell's Silver Hammer

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
Joah-oh-oh-on?
But as she's getting ready to go
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 fifty times I must not be so-oh-oh-ooh...
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

P. 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-oh-oh-oh
But as the words are leaving his lips
noise comes from behind

Bang, bang, 
Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon his head bang, bang, bang
Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that he was dead

Silver hammer man!
