Lyrics

[MEDIUM ALISON, spoken] Dear Mom and Dad I assume you got my letter Haven't heard from you I'd really love some sort of response [SOUND FROM THE TV, spoken] I guess you're not too bad for a manager *Laugh track* One, two, three, four [SOUND FROM THE TV] Ba 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 Read a book [ALISON, spoken] Slam Crash! [BRUCE, spoken, HELEN, spoken, ALISON, spoken & SMALL ALISON] Who fucking left these here? I just varnished this table! (Bruce, Bruce) (Just varnished) What are you doing? Those are library books! (Library) Well then, take them back to the library You stupid, crazy bitch! (Go, just go) You're going to be late for your appointment (Stupid) Don't tell me what to do! If you miss this appointment (Ba ba ba ba) Okay (We're in a lot of trouble) (Ba ba ba ba) Thank you for the lecture (Do you understand that?) (Ba ba ba ba) I can take care of my own ​business! If you're not home for dinner (Ba ba) I'm throwing it in the toilet! (Ba ba ba)
