"Thanks for the Care Package..."

Lyrics

Dear Mom and Dad, thanks for the care package
 I was running out of granola bars, so it came just in the knick 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
 Nah, we need them tomorrow night
 I could do it right now!
 Really?
 Yeah, just some simple drawing, right?
 Sure
 So, you want them to say-?
 We just need some really good 'No Nukes' posters
 Right, okay
 So, uh
 I was thinking
 Ma- maybe something like
 Oh, that's funny
 That's really good
 This?
 No, this is just quick and stupid
 Who's this, in the photo?
 My dad
 That's your dad?
 Yeah!
 He looks cool
 Did he teach you how to draw cartoons?
 Ooh, definitely not!
 Why's that funny?
 Oh, it's not funny
 It's just, he's more
 I don't know, uh, refined?
 I think it's amazing that he's cool with you being a dyke!
 What?
 Could we talk about something else?
 Sure
 Why?
 Because...
 I don't know how my parents feel about-
 I just figured it out myself
 Oh
 About two weeks ago
 Ah
 With who?
 With who what?
 Who were with?
 Oh, nobody
 Nobody!
 Oh, my God! I'm so embarrased!
 I was in a bookstore
 In a bookstore?
 Nice!
 What? No!
 Two weeks ago, I was downtown
 I just wandered into the bookstore
 I was just browsing, and I picked up this book
 Aah, 'Word Is Out'
 I was like
 "Oh, interviews. This looks interesting"
 Then I was like
 "These people are all, uh"
 Gay?
 Yes, gay
 And then I was like
 "Oh, my God. I'm a lesbian" (A dyke)
 Yes, a dyke. Yes
 And I totally flipped out
 And I shoved the book back on the shelf
 And then I left
 But then I came back 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, then it's now
 Hi
 Hello
 That's a powerful book
 It is
 So, I should probably go
 Kay
 Will I see you at the union meeting tomorrow afternoon?
 Uh, yeah, I'll be at the meeting
 I'll bring those posters, finish them up
 Cool. See you then
 Bye, Allison
 Bye, Joan!
