Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test tube
Oh, 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
Clang! Clang! 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 fifty times: I must not be
So-o-o
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 (do, do, do, do)
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
P.C. thirty-one said: We 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 (Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them
So, o, o, o
But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes from behind
Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Silver hammer man
O Martelo de Prata de Maxwell
Joan era estranha, estudava ciência
Patafísica em casa
Noites em claro, sozinha com seu tubo de ensaio
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Maxwell Edison, cursando Medicina
Liga pra ela
Posso te levar ao cinema
Joa-oa-oa-oan?
Mas quando ela se apronta pra sair
Alguém bate na porta
Bang! Bang! O martelo de prata de Maxwell
Caiu sobre sua cabeça
Bang! Bang! O martelo de prata de Maxwell
Garantiu que ela estivesse morta
De volta à escola de novo, Maxwell faz palhaçadas
A professora fica irritada
Desejando evitar uma cena
Desagradá-á-á-ável
Ela manda Max ficar depois que a aula acaba
Então ele fica esperando
Escrevendo cinquenta vezes: Eu não devo ser
Tã-ã-ã-o mau
Mas quando ela vira as costas pro rapaz
Ele se aproxima sorrateiro
Bang! Bang! O martelo de prata de Maxwell
Caiu sobre sua cabeça (do, do, do, do)
Bang! Bang! O martelo de prata de Maxwell
Garantiu que ela estivesse morta
O policial 31 disse: Pegamos o pilantra
Maxwell fica sozinho
Tentando se defender
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Rose e Valerie gritando da galeria
Pedem que ele seja solto (Maxwell tem que ser solto)
O juiz não concorda e conta a
Ela-a-as
Mas enquanto as palavras saem da sua boca
Um barulho surge por detrás
Bang! Bang! O martelo de prata de Maxwell
Desceu sobre sua cabeça
Bang! Bang! O martelo de prata de Maxwell
Certificou-se de que ele havia morrido
Oh, oh, oh, oh
O homem do martelo de prata
