P.D.Q. Bach - Oedipus Tex, Dramatic Oratorio for Soloists, Choru: II. Aria with ... lyrics
Howdy there - I'm Oedipus Tex You may have heard of my brother Rex Yeah, I'm Oedipus Tex - that's what I said But my friends just call me Ed I had some trouble coming into town There are things a man cannot take lying down I was riding through the gulch which ain't too big When I met some fellas in a double rig They said, "Step aside!" and I said "How about you?" Ain't no-one tells this cowboy what to do So me, I wouldn't budge and they just sat Until I shot 'em all and that was that Well howdy there - I'm Oedipus Tex You may have heard of my brother Rex Yeah, I'm Oedipus Tex - that's what I said But my friends just call me Ed When I came unto this town There was a Bigfoot hanging round He'd hit you with a riddle - and here's the deal If you didn't get it right you were his meal So I went out and found him in his spot I said "OK Bigfoot - gimme your best shot" "What starts out on four legs then goes round on two and finally walks on three before it's through?" "Well a baby, then a man", I said, "That's plain" "And finally an old geezer with his cane" Now Bigfoot, all he did was kinda wince And you'd better believe he ain't been heard from since Well howdy there - I'm Oedipus Tex (I'm a hero!) You may have heard of my brother Rex Yeah, I'm Oedipus Tex - that's what I said (You heard me!) But my friends just call me Ed Oft at night, when the coyotes are calling my name Makes me wonder if it's time to travel on Oft at night, when the moon is a-shining I wonder if my heart is saying "Saddle up at dawn" Lately seems like my thoughts turn to ladies Now please don't get me wrong, I love my pony best of all But oft at night, when the coyotes are whining, The moon is a-shining and everything is still - I hear that old familiar call... But you know I kinda like this town I think I'll find me a woman and settle down Good folks and plenty of space And besides it's nice to be in a place Where everyone knows old Oedipus Tex The brother of the legendary Rex Yeah, I'm Oedipus Tex - that's what I said But y'know my friends just call me Ed Well you know me - I'm Oedipus Tex I'm just as ornery as my brother Rex Yeah I'm Oedipus Tex - that's what I said But y'know my friends just call me Ed Well, howdy, howdy, howdy, howdy, howdy, howdy - I'm Oedipus Tex Some day I'd kinda like to know whatever happened to my older brother Rex Yeah, I'm Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus - that's what I said But my friends just call me Ed |
