lyric sheet

Song text document

A lyric sheet is a document containing the words to a song or collection of songs.

Musicians use lyric sheets in studios and rehearsals; fans print them to sing along.

The term applies to physical pages and digital files alike: I couldn't find the lyric sheet, so I just mumbled through the chorus.
