lyrics

Everybody's going crazy 'bout the new cat in town:
He rode in on a barge and now he's known all around.
And you can go to him anytime that you're feeling blue:
'Cause he's gentle as a fawn and he's smart, but he's still really cool.

Well there's always a crowd of people following him around,
But you got to stay behind him 'cause he's kind of a clown.
And he'll step on houses and cars just to see what you'll say:
But then he smiles down and you feel like everything's okay.

Well, well, well
The mayor came and said it was a holiday,
People in the street are thinking with their loins [doo do-do].
But hell, it doesn't even matter anyway, because
Half the town's been destroyed.
Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus rex!

Well now I'm not trying to talk about other folks, but
It seems like everybody's filled with vapor and smoke;
And I know Oedipus he only wants everyone to be free:
But sometimes I wish it was just Oedipus and me.
