“Just Had a Good Talk with Dad...”

Lyrics

[ALISON, spoken] September fifteenth Just had a good talk with Dad, and I feel so much better! Underline, underline, underline​ I'm going to spend four years reading books and drawing And I feel so relieved to let go of the insane idea That I'm supposed to throw myself out into the world— [MEDIUM ALISON, spoken] —It's not the world anyway It's Oberlin College [ALISON, spoken] Wow I had no idea what was coming [BRUCE, spoken] Sorry, the kids must have been cleaning in here Uh, this is the one we spoke about, the cherry, it's quite popular [PETE, spoken] This? [BRUCE, spoken] Uh, also quite popular Why don't we take those brochures into the office Where you can look them over and— [PETE, spoken] So you say we won't see any of the bruises? [BRUCE, spoken] No, no, we remove all signs of trauma Don't worry, Pete She will look very peaceful [PETE, spoken] Thank you Thanks, Bruce [BRUCE, spoken] Of course Uh, shall we? [PETE, spoken] No... I'll, uh I'll just take these home [BRUCE, spoken] Good idea Take them home, look them over, and give me a call Pete, get some rest Kids, get out of there! Now! [JOHN, spoken] When you break your neck Is it just like "crack" you're instantly dead? [SMALL ALISON, spoken] You guys, we gotta practice the commercial [CHRISTIAN, spoken] Yeah, we messed it up before [JOHN, spoken] Should we start from the top? [CHRISTIAN, spoken] Yeah [JOHN, spoken] Wait, should we say "Fun Home?" We only call it that in the family [SMALL ALISON, spoken] It's our commercial We can do what we want [JOHN, spoken] I guess it's okay Places everybody! [SMALL ALISON, spoken] Fun Home commercial Take seven-million-billion-thousand!
