Maxwell's Silver Hammer

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

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…
