I'm the king's thirty-second son 

Born to him a thirty-second time 

Born to him with my hair still on 

Born to him with two eyebrows on 

And that's all I was wearing 

When I woke up staring at the world

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

My mom had been a rather crazy queen 

But not at all like a sex machine 

She liked to keep her body clean, clean 

Thought the world to be quite obscene 

But she'd retire to her chambers 

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 

Mm-hmm... 

I'm the king's thirty-second son 

Man, 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 

Photos 

Sometimes I'd stand by the royal walls 

The sky'd be so big that it broke my soul 

And I'd stand on my toes to catch a glimpse 

Of my mother's eyes and my mother's skin 

But she'd retire to her chamber 

And we'd 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 and I woke up 

And I thought, Rex, Rex, Rex 

Then one morning I woke up 

And I thought, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus 

'Cause thirty-two's still a goddamn number 

Thirty-two still counts 

Gonna make it count 

Gonna make it count 

Gonna, uh, oh 

Thirty-two's still a goddamn number 

Thirty-two still counts 

Gonna make it count 

Gonna make it count 

Gonna, uh, uh, oh 

Long live the king

Long live the king

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 then one morning I woke up 

And I thought, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus 

Then one morning, and I woke up 

And I thought, Rex, Rex, Rex 

Then one morning, I woke up 

And I thought, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus 

'Cause thirty-two's still a goddamn number 

Thirty-two's still counts
