Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical science in her 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 her door
chorus
Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head bang bang maxwells silver hammer made sure that she was dead
Back at 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 oh oh oh but when she turns her back on the boy he creeps up from behind
chorus
PC 31, said we caught a dirty one Maxwell stands alone painting testimonial pictures oh oh oh oh Rose and Valerie, sreaming from the gallery say he must go free {Maxwell must go free} the judge does not agree and he tells them so oh oh oh but as the words are leaving his lips a noise comes from behind
chorus {with he, substituted for her}
