Текст песни Oedipus Rex - Live - Tom Lehrer
(Introduction,
Only
on
live
album
"An
Evening
Wasted
With
Tom
Lehrer",
spoken:)
And
now,
may
I
have
the
next
slide
please?
...carried
away
there.
It
seems
that
most
of
the
songs
that
you
hear
these
days
On
the
radio
played
by
the
disk
jockeys,
apart
from
rock
And
roll
and
other
children's
records,
tend
to
be
motion
Picture
title
songs.
Apparently
producers
feel
that
we
Will
not
attend
their
movies
unless
we
have
the
titles
Well
drilled
into
our
heads
in
advance.
Of
course,
we
Don't
go
anyway,
but
at
least
this
way
they
make
back
on
The
song
some
of
what
they've
lost
on
the
picture.
But,
With
the
rise
of
the
motion
picture
title
song
we
have
Such
hits
of
the
past
few
years
as
"The
Ten
Commandments
Mambo",
"Brothers
Karamazov
Cha-Cha",
"Incredible
Shrinking
Man
I
Love
You"
...I'm
sure
you're
all
familiar
with
these.
But,
a
few
years
ago,
a
motion
picture
version
appeared
Of
Sophocles'
immortal
tragedy
"Oedipus
Rex".
This
picture
Played
only
in
the
so-called
art
theaters,
and
it
was
not
A
financial
success.
And
I
maintain
that
the
reason
it
was
Not
a
financial
success...
you're
way
ahead
of
me...
was
That
it
did
not
have
a
title
tune
which
the
people
could
Hum,
and
which
would
make
them
actually
eager
to
attend
This
particular
flick.
So,
I've
attempted
to
supply
this,
And
here
then
is
the
prospective
title
song
from
"Oedipus
Rex":
From
the
Bible
to
the
popular
song
There's
one
theme
that
we
find
right
along
Of
all
ideals
they
hail
as
good
The
most
sublime
is
motherhood
There
was
a
man
though,
who
it
seems
Once
carried
this
ideal
to
extremes
He
loved
his
mother
and
she
loved
him
And
yet
his
story
is
rather
grim
There
once
lived
a
man
named
Oedipus
Rex
You
may
have
heard
about
his
odd
complex
His
name
appears
in
Freud's
index
'Cause
he
loved
his
mother
His
rivals
used
to
say
quite
a
bit
That
as
a
monarch
he
was
most
unfit
But
still
in
all
they
had
to
admit
That
he
loved
his
mother
Yes,
he
loved
his
mother
like
no
other
His
daughter
was
his
sister
and
his
son
was
his
brother
One
thing
on
which
you
can
depend
is,
He
sure
knew
who
a
boy's
best
friend
is
When
he
found
what
he
had
done
He
tore
his
eyes
out,
one
by
one
A
tragic
end
to
a
loyal
son
Who
loved
his
mother
So
be
sweet
and
kind
to
mother
Now
and
then
have
a
chat
Buy
her
candy
or
some
flowers
Or
a
brand
new
hat
But
maybe
you
had
better
let
it
go
at
that
Or
you
may
find
yourself
with
a
quite
complex
complex
And
you
may
end
up
like
Oedipus
I'd
rather
marry
a
duck-billed
platypus
Than
end
up
like
old
Oedipus
Rex
