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
Em
Calls her on the phone
A
"Can I take you out to the pictures
D                 A
Joa, oa, oa, oan?"

[Pre-Chorus (1)]

But as she's getting ready to go
  A
A knock comes on the door

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
     E
Came down upon her head
A
Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer

Made sure that she was dead

Wishing to avoid and unpleasant

Sce, e, e, ene

She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away

So he waits behind
A
Writing fifty times "I must not be

So, o, o, o"
