This song adapts the conversation between Frank’s father and Frank from the beginning of the novel. It also exposits on the father’s obsession with measurements by including some more of the random questions he has a habit of asking Frank.
[Father]
Diggs. Diggs was just here. I suppose you know. I suppose I'd better tell you. It's your brother Eric.
He, he's escaped from the hospital. They think he might head back here. I don't suppose he'll get this far. They'll probably pick him up in a day or two.
I see you've washed your hands again.
[Father]
How long is this knife?
[Frank]
Four and a half inches.
[Father]
The width of the picture?
[Frank]
Eighteen inches.
[Father]
The picture?
[Frank]
Eighteen inches.
[Father]
The area of the television screen?
[Frank]
Four-hundred square inches.
[Father]
The height of this table?
[Frank]
Thirty inches.
[Father]
Wrong. Two foot six.
[Frank]
I'm not answering these questions anymore. We should have gone metric years ago.
[Father]
What were you up to today?
[Frank]
Out walking and things.
[Father]
Building dams again?
[Frank]
Not today.
[Father]
I hope you weren't out killing any of God's creatures. Sometimes I think you're the one that should be in a hospital, not Eric.
