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.

Silver Hammer Ma, a, an.

  • My professor was lucky enough to grow up during the 60s & loves The Beatles.

    Luckily he plays music during our 3 & 1/2 hour drawing class, specifically music of The Beatles.

    This song played yesterday & our whole class started singing along.

    May their music never be forgotten.

    Long Live The Beatles!

  • Stop! Hammer time!

  • sorry i meant waits behind

  • @mrserjmalakian

     apparently john mooned paul when he began to sing the line "stays behind"

  • holding back a laugh at 1:28?

  • The first time I heard this, I couldn't believe the Beatles wrote it. It's so sinister and creepy. But totally awesome. :)

  • You know, I've heard this song so many times but it was only today when this song came the radio that I actually stopped and listened to the lyrics. This really is quite dark and disturbing with a somewhat uplifting tone isan't it.

  • @MrKushsmoker21 I like your name lol

  • @xVoomertx ....

  • underrated gem

  • very kinks-y

  • @RandomLevitation Apparently it's pataphysical. I actually came here solely because I saw on the wikipedia page for pataphysics that this song mentioned pataphysics.
