Maxwell's Silver Hammer 8.60 Songtext
von The 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, Jo-oh-oh-oan?"
But as she′s getting ready to go
A knock comes on her 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, Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant sce-e-e-eene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing *chuckle* 50 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! (Do-do-do-do-do)
Clang! Clang!
Maxwell's Silver Hammer made sure that she was dead!
(Do-do-do-do-do)
P.C. 31 said, "We 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! (Do-do-do-do-do)
Clang! Clang!
Maxwell′s Silver Hammer made sure that he was dead!
Woah-woah-woah!
(Do-do-do-do-do)
Silver Hammer Man!
