Party Dress Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Fun Home

Fun Home (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2015

[BRUCE, spoken]
Oh, no you don't—t-shirt off
Look, you've messed this up already. Where's your barette?
[SMALL ALISON, spoken]
Ow!
[BRUCE, spoken]
Sneakers
[SMALL ALISON, spoken]
Why?
[BRUCE, spoken]
Because you're going to a party!
Here
[SMALL ALISON, spoken]
I don't want to wear those!
[BRUCE, spoken]
Oh, tough titty
[SMALL ALISON]
I despise this dress
What's the matter with boy shirts and pants?
[BRUCE, spoken]
You're a girl
[SMALL ALISON]
This dress makes me feel like a clown
I hate it!
[BRUCE, spoken]
That's enough, we're late
[SMALL ALISON, spoken]
You're wearing a girl color!
[BRUCE, spoken]
Every other girl at this party is going to be wearing her prettiest dress and you're going to put on what? What? What? Your jean jacket? Trousers? That's all right with me. You understand—you'll be the only girl there not wearing a dress, right? Is that what you want? You want people talking about you behind your back? It's alright with me... Change your clothes. Well? Go ahead... Are you going to change?
[SMALL ALISON]
Maybe not right now
Maybe not right now
[MEDIUM ALISON, spoken]
Dear Mom and Dad
I'm trying to tell you something
​and I'm having a hard time
​because it's kind of a big deal.​
It's not that big of a deal!
It might be a big deal!
​I don't know...
 
[BRUCE, spoken]
Good
[SMALL ALISON, sung]
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la…
 
[MEDIUM ALLISON, sung]
I want, I want, I want, I...
(spoken)
—am a lesbian!
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm a lesbian
[ALISON, spoken]
"Went to a meeting at the Gay Union tonight. I was petrified. A lot of political talk, almost too much, but ultimately a reasonable amount."
—What does that mean?
"I signed up to help organize a 'Take Back the Night' march. I don't know why I did it; I don't know what that is."
—Oh my God
