song sheets

Words to sing

Song sheets are printed pages containing the lyrics and often the melody of a song, used for group singing or musical performance.

Before recorded music became widespread, song sheets were how popular songs spread through the culture.

The phrase singing from the same song sheet means everyone is aligned on what to say or do—presenting a unified message.
