Send "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" ringtones to your cell

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 Jo-o-o-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 and unpleasant scene-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-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 
Bang, bang Maxwell's silver hammer 
made sure that she was dead 

P.C. thirty one said we've 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 
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 
Bang, bang Maxwell's silver hammer 
made sure that he was dead 
Silver hammer man
