Judy T.

Shopping malls in 2010, country on the radio, nighttime baths and cute red flats, walks along
the ocean
On DVD's of my middle school plays, your laugh is loud I know it one liters of coke with extra ice
It's pop not fucking soda

You've shown me love since before I could walk
You are my mother's mother

You talk a lot, just like I do, but not to everybody
(Aquarius)
Now I get on planes, cause you're miles away, you prefer me on your time zone
I land we hug, you kiss and rub my feet and scratch my arm
That's why Judy T, my first song has to go to you

Miss Pretty likes to drink your tea, (her cat)
She's matted up and has no teeth, but she watches you while the rest of us play
I wonder if she'll be mine one day
At 13, 14, Chloe and me would spend weekends out at your place, make YouTube vids, buy clothes with you

Do you remember it like I do
You've shown me love since before I could walk,you are my mother's mother
You talk a lot, just like I do, but not to everybody (Aquarius)

Now I get on planes, cause you're miles away, you prefer me on your time zone
I land we hug, you kiss and rub my feet and scratch my arm
So Judy T - thanks for everything
You taught me not to give a fuck, to try my luck and always do my own thing

So Judy T., thanks for everything
For loving me, for seeing me, I know that you're a soulmate, that's why Judy T, my first song, has to go to you

2013 was your year, you called it the year of Judy
Played Rummikub, you kicked my ass while pictures of my exes behind us flash
You call me out, retweet my tweets, sent me money over Venmo to buy some treats
Singing Miss O is your favorite Miss O, you always said I should be in a band

You know me more than I could ever know me, your tenor notes are so damn sweet, make your lyrics up, your opinions heard, melt so much
better on your popcorn.
After I came out at just 18, you were my biggest cheerlead

So funny how you can never die, at least not ever, not before I, I have an idea, let's go at
the same time, count to three and close your eyes, you're always on my side
So Judy T., thanks for everything
You taught me not to give a fuck, to try my luck and always do my own thing

So Judy T, thanks for everything. For loving me, for seeing me, I know that you're a soulmate
That's why Judy T., my sweet Judy Tea, my liberal boomer Judy Tea, my first song has
to go to you

Judy T: I guess, I don't know, I don't, you know, I rarely laugh out loud anymore in my whole
life
Olivia: Aww
Judy T: So, and I'll try to channel being at 13

Olivia: Okay, yes, exactly
Wait, okay
