Joan was merrily,
Ding, ding!
Don't be fooled again, brownies have to cool again,
Ding, ding...
(Instrumental Break)
The pan's a dirty one,
Ding, ding...
Brownie time again.
studying the cul'nary textbook all alone;
there's all different ways to make snack foods.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Maxwell's fidgeting; brownies are diminishing
quickly from the home.
Have to go and get some more mixtures, tho-o-o-ough,
but soon an idea enters the mind:
he knows where Joan's tonight.
Maxwell's brownie timer has never lost a one.
Ding, ding!
Maxwell's brownie timer will go off when they're done.
then you can enjoy
waiting hungrily while you smell the ste-e-e-eam.
Max needs just a day making brownies all the way
from another time,
and fifty years before when the tricks weren't to-o-o-old.
But when he wanders back to his youth,
he wakes up with a chime.
...when they're done.
baking number 31 brownie just this week.
Waiting for the ultimate mixture, Oh-oh-oh-oh.
Rose and Valerie both would like a chance to be
Maxwell's for a day.
The timer's how the brownies are made just so-o-o-o.
But as the girls are reaching the mitts,
he shows up just in time.
...then they're done.
Wo-wo-wo-woh.
