09/27/1998: A song about Oedipus

Posted By: Zarathustra


There was a man named Oedipus Rex You might have heard of his odd complex His name appears in Freud's index . . . Because he loved his mother

Oh yes, he loved his mother
And not quite like any other
His daughter was his sister
. . . and his uncle was his brother

When he found what he had done
He tore his eyes out, one by one
A tragic end for a royal son
. . . Who loved his mother.

A kid told me that song while I was in high school (about twelve years ago). If anyone can tell me who the real author was, I'd be mildly grateful.
