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

Welcome to the BEATLES MIDI/MP3 & LYRICS Homepage. My new idea to add lyrics and sound bytes of every song the Beatles released as the World's greatest rock band ever to have lived on this Earth. Along with the lyrics and MP3 soundbytes are also the MIDI files and the many, many images from all their albums. The years from 1963-71 was such an era in the history of rock and roll, it was the Beatles who influenced the United States as the British Invasion was mainly a function of the band who started it all as soon afterwards, many bands including the Rolling Stones, The Who, Yardbirds and many other bands from Great Britain came to the US for fame and fortune. My favorite era and still is are the Sixties. It all started for the Beatles with the two vinyl albums: Introducing The Beatles and Meet The Beatles. Well besides the lyrics of every Beatles song, I have now included a 30-second MP3 sound byte of every Beatles song, perfect length for that ringtone you always desired. Both the MP3's and MIDI's on this site are FREE to download, but if you do download a bunch, please at least consider a small donation. You can also purchase a special collection of 1 of 4 music CD's from my Music Store or purchase an album of MP3 songs based on the original LP's as they were released here in the United States on both Capitol Records and the new Beatles company; Apple Records. Each album includes all full length MP3's from one of the original albums all in 192 kbps quality. All songs are tagged and include special original artwork.

To purchurse any MP3 LP/Album, simply visit the Album page that you desire or click on the BIG BEATLES INDEX BANNER shown below here. There are also smaller banners where you can just purchase one song of your choice for just one dollar. Most of the LP's are just $5. All the songs will emailed to you and all will include FULL TAGS so they will easily download to your media devices and all also have original album art too. Thank you for your support...
