I'm the king's thirty second son
Born to him in thirty second's time
Born to him the night still young

Born to him with two eyebrows on
And that's all I was wearing
When I woke up staring at the world


My mom had been a rather crazy queen
But not at all a sex machine

She liked to keep her body clean, clean
Thought the world to be quite obscene
But she retired to her chamber

And we remain quite strangers

And to see me made her awful sad

And to touch me made her awful sad
And to see me made her awful
And to touch me made her awful


I'm the king's thirty second son
And all it took was thirty second's time

But a spoiled little prince I was not
Had a chamber maid and a chamber pot
And there's thirty one others just like me

There's thirty one others I can be

Sometimes I'd stand by the royal wall

The sky'd be so big that it broke my soul
And i stood on my toes to catch a glimpse
Of my mother's eyes and my mother's skin

And she retired to her chamber
And we remain quite strangers


And to see me made her awful sad
And to touch me made her awful sad
And to see me made her awful

And to touch me made her awful

And one morning I woke up

And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
Then one morning I woke up and I thought Rex, Rex, Rex
Then one morning I woke up

And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
Thirty two's still a !@#$ number
Thirty two's still counts

Gonna make it count
Gonna make it count
Gonna oh oh


Thirty two's still a !@#$ number
Thirty two still counts

Gonna make it count
Gonna make it count
Gonna oh oh


Long live the king
Long live the king

Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king

Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the


I'm the king's thirty second son
There's thirty one others just like me

There's thirty one others on the way
There's thirty one others after that


Sometimes I stand by the royal gate
People screaming love and hate
And they scream

And they scream
And they scream
And they scream

Long live the king,
Long live the queen

And to see me made her awful sad
And to touch me made her awful sad

And to see me made her awful
And to touch me made her awful

And one morning I woke up
And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus

Then one morning I woke up and I thought Rex, Rex, Rex
Then one morning I woke up
And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
Thirty two's still a !@#$ number
Thirty two's still counts
