Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test tube, Oh, oh, oh, oh

Edward Scissorhands has scissors for his hands, calls her on the phone
"Can I take you out to the pictures, Joa, oa, oa, oan?"

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

Snip! Snip! Edward Scissorhands cuts the hair upon her head
Snip! Snip! Edward Scissorhands did well Joan said

Back in school again, Edward plays the fool again, teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant Sce, e, e, ene,

She tells Ed 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

Snip! Snip! Edward Scissorhands cuts the hair upon her head
Snip! Snip! Edward Scissorhands did well the teacher said

P. C. Thirty-one said, "We've caught a dirty one," Edward stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures, Oh, oh, oh, oh

Kim and Peggy pleads to let him be, and he must go free (Edward 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

Snip! Snip! Edward Scissorhands cuts the hair upon his head
Snip! Snip! Edward Scissorhands did well the judge said

Edward Scissorhands
