Maxwell's Silver Hammer Lyrics

Joan was quizzical studied metaphysical science at the pol

Late night all alone with a test-tube,

Oh oh, oh oh.

Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine calls her on the phone,

Can I take you to the pictures Joan.

But as she's getting ready to go, a knock come 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 fifty times I must not be so

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'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.

The judge does not agree and he tells them so oh oh.

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.

Silver hammer man.
