original broadway cast of fun home - "thanks for the care package..." lyrics

[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 dyk-.

[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, n0body… n0body! oh my god. i’m so embarr-ssed. 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]
g-y?
[medium alison]
yes, g-y. and then i was like
“oh my god. i’m
a lesbian.”
—yes, a dyk-. yes.

[joan]
a dyk-.

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 g-y union, and then, uh well…and then… it’s now…
hi.

[joan]
h-llo.
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.
