Maxwell’s Silver Hammer (Take 12)

Lyrics

[Intro: Paul McCartney] Tell you what Do, do more sort of a *scatters drum solo* you know a bit [Ringo mimics Paul] [Paul McCartney] Yes, just something a bit more cause it does-sounds a bit dead when you hear it, just as an intro [Paul continues to scatter while Ringo plays drums] [Paul McCartney] Yeah ok Uh, do that one *scatters and plays the piano to bass chords* [George attempts to mimic Paul] [Verse 1] Joan was quizzical, studied paraphysical 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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-o-o-o" But as she turns her back on the boy He rose up from behind [Chorus] Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer Came down upon her head Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer Made sure that she was dead [Paul vocalizing] [Verse 3] *Paul gibberish* Painting testimonial pictures Oh, oh, oh, oh Valerie Gallery Free Agree and he tells him So-o-o-o But as his words are leaving his lips A noise comes from the back [Chorus] Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer Came down upon his head Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer Made sure that he was dead [Paul vocalizing] [Outro: Paul McCartney, George Harrison, George Martin, Ringo Starr] How do you think about it? One more It was good, you know, it had nice bits in it But it would be nice to have the nice bits and the other bits And the bad bits And the bad bits, yeah *laughs* George Harrison is resting his arm Let it be known unto the people Kick out the jams, take eight Brothers and sisters!
