[length: 03:50]
[00:02.38]Joan was quizzical, studied ‘pataphysical
[00:13.71]Science in the home
[00:17.66]Late nights all alone with a test tube
[00:21.15]Oh, oh-oh, oh
[00:25.46]Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine
[00:29.12]Calls her on the phone
[00:32.85]”Can I take you out to the pictures, Joan?”
[00:40.23]But as she’s getting ready to go
[00:43.82]A knock comes on the door
[00:48.04]Bang, bang, Maxwell’s silver hammer
[00:51.20]Came down upon her head
[00:55.50]Clang, clang, Maxwell’s silver hammer
[00:58.61]Made sure that she was dead
[01:10.32]Back in school again
[01:12.54]Maxwell plays the fool again
[01:14.49]Teacher gets annoyed
[01:18.78]Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene
[01:25.67]She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
[01:29.65]So he waits behind
[01:33.70]Writing fifty times “I must not be so, oh-oh, oh”
[01:40.63]But when she turns her back on the boy
[01:44.94]He creeps up from behind
[01:48.46]Bang, bang, Maxwell’s silver hammer
[01:51.79]Came down upon her head (do-do do-doo-doo)
[01:55.88]Clang, clang, Maxwell’s silver hammer
[01:58.60]Made sure that she was dead
[02:02.59](Do-do do-doo-doo)
[02:18.36]P.C. 31 said “We’ve caught a dirty one”
[02:29.54]Maxwell stands alone
[02:33.59]Painting testimonial pictures, oh, oh-oh, oh
[02:40.49]Rose and Valerie, screaming from the gallery
[02:43.43]Say he must go free (“Maxwell must go free”)
[02:48.00]The judge does not agree, and he tells them so, oh-oh, oh
[02:55.36]But as the words are leaving his lips
[02:59.79]A noise comes from behind
[03:02.57]Bang, bang, Maxwell’s silver hammer
[03:06.09]Came down upon his head (do-do do-doo-doo)
[03:10.14]Clang, clang, Maxwell’s silver hammer
[03:13.70]Made sure that he was dead
[03:16.51]Whoa, whoa, whoa
[03:18.39](Do-do do-doo-doo)
[03:32.11]Silver hammer man
