Beatles - Maxwell's Silver Hammer (take 5)
============================================
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: Paul McCartney
(take 5)
Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test-tube
Ohh-oh-oh-oh...
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicinem
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 do do do do do
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
Mrmblrrrmblr mrmblrrrmblr mrmblrrrmblr
Painting testimonial pictures ohh-oh-oh-oh
He and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
Ha ha... 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
[One more.
It was good, you know, it has a nice bits in it...
But it would be good to have the nice bits and the other bits.]
