Not sure if this is the one, but still here is the version I know. It might not be complete:
OEDIPUS REX (Mark Graham)
I killed a man where three roads meet. The truth to you I'll tell. He drew first, but I was faster And I buried him where he fell.
Oedipus Rex, Oedipus Rex, Another sad story of death and sex. You killed your pa and you married your ma. They don't even do that in Arkansas!
I solved the riddle and I killed the Sphinx And I saved the whole damn town. Some dirty rounder had murdered the king So the queen and I boogied on down.
Oedipus Rex, Oedipus Rex, How could a guy get so complex? You killed your pa and you married your ma. They don't even do that in Arkansas!
Oedipus, Oedipus, come here quick. There's a plague that's a-coming on down. The gods say the man that murdered the king I living right here in town.
Oedipus Rex, Oedipus Rex, You're the one no-one suspects. You killed your pa and you married your ma. They don't even do that in Arkansas!
I killed my pa and I married my ma. You'd think my life was cursed, But every afternoon on the Donohue show There's a story that's ten times worse.
Oedipus Rex, Oedipus Rex, Oedipus won't be needing his specs. He killed his pa and he married his ma. They don't even do that in Arkansas!
Oedipus Rex, Oedipus Rex, You ought to meet my cousin. He's Oedipus Tex. He killed his ma and he married his pa. That's a thirty-dollar fine in Arkansas!
