Maxwell's Silver Hammer

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 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 sce-e-e-ene She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away So he waits behind Writing 50 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 Do-do-do-do Bang Bang Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead Do-do-do-do P C 31 said We 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 Bang Bang Maxwell's silver hammer made sure he was dead Whoa whoa whoa Doo-doo doo-doo doo Silver hammer man
