songsheet

Words for singing

A songsheet is a piece of paper or pamphlet printed with song lyrics, sometimes including musical notation, distributed so a group can sing together: The choir director handed out songsheets before rehearsal.

The phrase singing from the same songsheet means presenting a unified message or coordinated position, especially in politics or business.
