Joan was quizzical
Studied metaphysical
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
Jo, oh, oh, 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
Clang clang, 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 and
Unpleasant sce, e, e, ene

She tells Max to stay
When the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing fifty times, I must not be
So, oh, oh, oh

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
Clang clang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead

P.C. thirty one said
We've 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
Oh, oh, oh

But as the words
Are leaving his lips
A noise comes form behind

Bang bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head (do do do)
Clang clang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead
Whoa, oh, oh

(Do do do do)
Silver hammer
