Maxwell's Silver Hammer

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 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-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
Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead
B.C. Thirty-One 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 that he was dead.
