John was quizzical, Studied back to physical science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test tube, Oh, oh, oh, oh
Maxwell Medicine, Majority Medicine, Calls her on the phone
Can I take you out to the pictures, John?
But as she's getting ready to go, My phone comes on the door
Bang, bang, Maxwell, Silver Hammer came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell, Silver Hammer made sure that she was dead
I'm in school again, the major goes to school, The 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, Oh, oh, oh
But when she turns it back on the boy, He creeps up from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell, Silver Hammer came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell, Silver Hammer made sure that she was dead
We see thirty-one, said we go to thirty-one, Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures go, Oh, oh, oh, oh
The church does not agree, and he tells no so, Oh, oh, oh
But as the words are leaving his lips, The words comes from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell, Silver Hammer came down upon his head
Bang, bang, Maxwell, Silver Hammer made sure that he was dead
Bang, bang, Maxwell, Silver Hammer made sure that he was dead
