“Thanks for the Care Package...” Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Fun Home

Fun Home (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2015

[MEDIUM ALISON]
Dear Mom and Dad,​
Thanks for the care package. I was running out of granola bars so it came just in the nick of time. They sell a kind here I swear is made of paste...
Nothing else worth writing home about. Har-Har.​
Al
I could draw you some posters.​
[JOAN]
Nah, we need them tomorrow night.​
[MEDIUM ALISON]
I could do it right now!
[JOAN]
Really?
[MEDIUM ALLISON]
Yeah, just some simple drawing, right?
[JOAN]
Sure.​
[MEDIUM ALLISON]
So, you want them to say...?
[JOAN]
We just need some really good "No Nukes" posters.​
[MEDIUM ALISON]
Right.​
Okay.​
So I was thinking...maybe...maybe something like...
[JOAN]
Oh. That's funny.​
That's really good.​
[MEDIUM ALISON]
This? No, this is just quick and stupid...
[JOAN]
Who's this? In the photo?
[MEDIUM ALISON]
My dad.​
[JOAN]
That's your dad?
[MEDIUM ALISON]
Yeah!
[JOAN]
He looks cool. Did he teach you how to draw cartoons?
[MEDIUM ALISON]
Ooh, definitely not.​
[JOAN]
Why's that funny?
[MEDIUM ALISON]
Oh, it's not funny; he's just more, I don't know, uh, refined?
[JOAN]
I think it's amazing he's cool with you being a dyke.​
[MEDIUM ALISON]
What? Could we talk about something else?
[JOAN]
Sure... Why?
[MEDIUM ALISON]
Because I don't know how my parents feel about...
I just figured it out myself.​
[JOAN]
Oh.​
[MEDIUM ALISON]
About two weeks ago...
[JOAN]
Huh... With who?
[MEDIUM ALISON]
"With who" what?
[JOAN]
Who were you with?
[MEDIUM ALISON]
Oh, nobody... Nobody! Oh my God. I'm so embarrassed. I was in a bookstore...
[JOAN]
In a bookstore?! Nice!
[MEDIUM ALISON]
What? No! Two weeks ago I was downtown. I just wandered into the bookstore. I was just browsing, and I picked up this book.​
[JOAN]
Oh! Word is out.​
[MEDIUM ALISON]
I was like, "Oh interviews, this looks interesting" then I was like, "These people are all..uh..."
[JOAN]
Gay?
[MEDIUM ALISON]
Yes, gay. And then I was like
"Oh my God. I'm
​a lesbian."
—Yes, a dyke. Yes.​
 
[JOAN]
A dyke.​
 
And I totally flipped out and shoved the book back on the shelf and then I left... But then I came the next day and bought the book, and then I came back the next day and bought all the other books in that section, and then I made myself go to the meeting at the Gay Union, and then, uh well...and then... it's now...
Hi.​
[JOAN]
Hello.​
That's a powerful book.​
[MEDIUM ALISON]
It is.​
[JOAN]
So, I should probably go.​
[MEDIUM ALISON]
Okay.​
[JOAN]
Will I see you at the union meeting tomorrow afternoon?
[MEDIUM ALISON]
Uh, yeah. I'll be at the meeting. I'll bring those posters. Finish 'em up.​
[JOAN]
Cool. See you then. Bye, Alison.​
[MEDIUM ALISON]
Bye, Joan.​
