*VERSE 1*
joan was quizzical
studied pataphysical
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, joan?”
.
but as she’s getting ready to go
a knock comes on the door…
.
*CHORUS 1*
bang, bang, maxwell’s silver hammer
came down upon her head
.
bang, bang, maxwell’s silver hammer
made sure that she was dead
.
*VERSE 2*
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 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 2*
bang, bang, maxwell’s silver hammer
came down upon her head
do do do do do
bang, bang, maxwell’s silver hammer
(made sure that she was dead)
.
*VERSE 3*
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 (oh oh oh)
.
but as the words are leaving his lips…
a noise comes from behind…
(MAXWELL AS MANSON)
(‘ROSE’ AND ‘VALERIE’ AS MANSON’S ‘FAMILY’)
.
*CHORUS 3*
bang, bang, maxwell’s silver hammer…
came down upon his head
(do do do do do)
bang, bang, maxwell’s silver hammer…
made sure that he was dead…
wow wow wow oh!
do do do do do
.
