(Lennon/McCartney)  
  
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, Joan?  
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 scene  
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away  
So he waits behind  
Writing 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  
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  
A noise comes from behind  
  
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer  
Came down upon his head  
Do do do do do  
Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer  
Made sure that he was dead  
Wow wow wow oh!  
Do do do do do  
  
Silver hammer Max
