the beatles maxwell's silver hammer

my first video so it might be bad

LYRICS: 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.
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, 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 when she turns her back on the boy,
He creeps up from behind.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead.

P. C. Thirty-one said, "We've 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, o, o, o.

But as the words are leaving his lips,
A noise comes from behind.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead.

Whoa, oh, oh Silver hammer,

Okay so the guy who answered this question is a dumbass.

I can't believe my 4th gr music teacher taught this song to us & no one objected. That wouldn't b allowed these days. 2 bad. There's no music in school anymore anyway. So sad. Great song.

@thebeatles4ever9999 I believe that "pictures" was another name for the movies.

[MyButtercup69]

@thebeatles4ever9999 back in the day they called movie theaters "The pictures"

Great song.

I can see what Lennon meant by 'granny music'. I don't agree though, I think it's a great song.

[fran9860]

@thebeatles4ever9999 pictures is a reference to the cinema
