“Read a Book...” Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Fun Home

Fun Home (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2015

[MEDIUM ALISON, spoken]
Dear Mom and Dad
I assumed you got my letter. I haven't heard from you... I'd really love some sort of response
[TV AUDIO, spoken]
I guess you're not too bad..for a manager
(laugh track)
One, two, three, four
(sung)
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba...
Everything's all right!
[BRUCE, spoken]
Ugh, that's inane
[SMALL ALISON, spoken]
I was watching it!
[BRUCE, spoken]
That show is awful
[SMALL ALISON, spoken]
It's the best show. It's about a family that always—
[BRUCE, spoken]
—I know what it's about. Just read a book
[ALISON, spoken]
Slam. Crash!
[BRUCE, spoken]
Who fucking left these here? I just varnished this table!
Well then—take them back to the library, you
​stupid crazy bitch!
Don't tell me what to do!
Oh, thank you.​
Thank you for the lecture
I can take care of my own ​business!
 
[HELEN, spoken]
Bruce.​
Bruce, what're you doing? Those are library books!
Stop it!
Go, just go
You're going to be late for your appointment
If you miss this appointment, we're in a lot of trouble
Do you understand that?
If you're not home for dinner, I'm throwing it in the toilet!
 
[ALISON, spoken]
Just varnished...
Library...
Stupid...
[SMALL ALISON, sung]
Ba ba ba
​ba, Baa
​ba ba
​ba
Ba
​ba
​ba ba
Ba ba
​ba ba
​ba...
