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 | | | |
|
| | | |
|
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 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 | | | |
|
| | | |
|
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon his head | | | |
|
Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that he was dead | | | |
