Maxwell’s Silver Hammer Steve Martin

Joan was quizzical, studied 'pataphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test tube
Oh, ho-ho, ho
Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine
Call 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

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, ho-ho, ho"
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 she was dead
Whoa, whoa
