Joan was quizzical, studied metaphysical
|
Science in the home
|
Late nights all alone with a test-tube
|
Ohh-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-oo..."
|
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
|
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-o-o-oo
|
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
|
