[00:00.00]时代音乐网 www.78497.com  [00:03.04]From the Bible to the popular song [00:05.57]There's one theme that we find right along [00:08.55]Of all ideals they hail as good [00:11.09]The most sublime is motherhood [00:14.64]There was a man though  who it seems [00:17.04]Once carried this ideal to extremes [00:20.05]He loved his mother and she loved him [00:22.59]And yet his story is rather grim [00:31.05]There once lived a man named Oedipus Rex [00:33.39]You may have heard about his odd complex [00:35.57]His name appears in Freud's index [00:37.51]'Cause he loved his mother [00:41.89]His rivals used to say quite a bit [00:43.81]That as a monarch he was most unfit [00:45.92]But still in all they had to admit [00:48.31]That he loved his mother [00:52.23]Yes  he loved his mother like no other [00:54.72]His daughter was his sister and his son was his brother [00:57.40]One thing on which you can depend is [01:00.56]He sure knew who a boy's best friend is [01:02.87]When he found what he had done [01:04.73]He tore his eyes out  one by one [01:06.88]A tragic end to a loyal son [01:08.67]Who loved his mother [01:13.12]So be sweet and kind to mother [01:14.67]Now and then have a chat [01:16.32]Buy her candy or some flowers [01:17.62]Or a brand new hat [01:19.26]But maybe you had better let it go at that [01:21.80]Or you may find yourself with a quite complex complex [01:25.52]And you may end up like Oedipus [01:28.60]I'd rather marry a duck billed platypus [01:30.68]Than end up like old Oedipus Rex
