Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysicalScience in the homeLate nights all alone with a test-tube, ohh-oh-oh-oh...Maxwell Edison majoring in medicineCalls her on the phone"Can I take you out to the pictures Joa-oa-oa-oan?"But as she's getting ready to goA knock comes on the door...
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammerCame down upon her headClang, clang, Maxwell's silver hammerMade sure that she was dead
Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool againTeacher gets annoyedWishing to avoid an unpleasant sce-e-e-eneShe tells Max to stay when the class has gone awaySo he waits behindWriting 50 times "I must not be so-o-o-oo..."But when she turns her back on the boyHe creeps up from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammerCame down upon her headClang, clang, Maxwell's silver hammerMade sure that she was dead
P.C. Thirty-One said "we caught a dirty one"Maxwell stands alonePainting testimonial pictures ohh-oh-oh-ohRose and Valerie screaming from the gallerySay he must go free (Maxwell must go free)The judge does not agree and he tells them so-o-o-ooBut as the words are leaving his lipsA noise comes from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammerCame down upon his headClang, clang, Maxwell's silver hammerMade sure that he was dead
