Musical by Ellen Schwartz and Laura I. Kramer A Letter to Harvey Milk the Musical - Honor Thy Daughter Lyrics
FRANNIE: Am I hearing since I’m gone you don’t call gracie? Did your brains just simply fall out of your head? Did I expect too much to think you’d keep in touch? I’d kill myself, but I’m already dead
I don’t know why you called me back But now I’m glad you did So we can try to figure out Why you don’t call the kid
Honor thy daughter, she’s your family They say, “what goes around comes back around” If you wait to get a call, who’ll be here for you at all? Not this ghost you had to dig up from the ground!
When she was born, they cut the cord And now she’s on her own. But there’s one cord that’s still attached
Pick up the goddam phone!
What a...
HARRY (spoken): Please, God, not again!
FRANNIE: Shame, what a shanda She lives by new rochelle, not in rwanda At your age you just let the time go by? Tell me why, tell me why.
What a shame, what a shanda If not you, who’s left to be the corresponda? We had only one girl, we couldn’t send her to yeshiva So she strayed outside the faith Is this a reason we should leave huh?
She’s given us two grandkids The boy looks just like you
Introduce them to their zayde Be a jew!
What disgrace, what a shanda One only kid of whom you should be fonda If i were here, i'd take the blame But you're alive, and i'm out yonda For our grandkids' sake, learn a reindeer name
(spoken) Like Cupid, Stupid, Blitzsteen, Donda... Oy, sounds like maybe a law firm!
For someone who sneaks shellfish You would think your rules would soften
(spoken) I’ll bet even Hitler’s folks called...
Pretty often
