Joan was quizzical, studied metaphysical 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 Joa-oa-oa-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
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 sce-e-e-ene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away so he waits behind
Writing 50 times "I must not be so-o-o-oo..."
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind Chorus
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-o-o-oo
But as the words are leaving his lips, a noise comes from behind
Chorus
