Maxwell's Silver Hammer

Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical science in the home
Late nights all alone with her 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 Jo-o-o-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 and unpleasant scene-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  
The judge does not agree and he tells them so-o-o-o
But as the words are leaving his lips anoise comes form behind
Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon his head
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that he was dead
