Marcus Yi – Soprano’s Lament

Marcus Yi – Soprano’s Lament Lyrics

Artist: Marcus Yi
Song: Soprano’s Lament

*note some parts of the song are adlibbed (especially the spoken parts) by performers: the words differ slightly depending on the singer
I hate to complain, but it’s driving me insane
To be born to sing soprano
Altos think im a b#tch

Because my voice is so high-pitched:
That’s the curse of being a soprano
I never find a good place for rehearsal
For my voice is lethal like a heat-seeking missile

Leading men think i’m dramatic
But i’m not that ecstatic
To kiss those gay tenor man-hoes
I’m always conscious of my breathing

So i don’t pass out while singing:
That’s the burden of being a soprano
Oh, the trouble you don’t know
But my life is filled with woe

All because i’m a high soprano
Big emotions i’ll convey
While ‘f’-ing away
Because i am a soprano

(the) composers always put me on the melody
Because they think i cannot sing com-plex har-mo-ny….
And it doesn’t really help
In shows that they need you to belt

Which sucks if you’re a soprano
Yes, it’s a constant tedium
When you sound like you’re on helium
When you were made a soprano

Oh, what would i give for a role
That’s a funny, sexy individual!
Oh, why do composers torture us
By giving us high notes like a dog whistle

I once did a google search
For the top roles for sopranos in musical theatre
But they were either divas, insipid, or developmentally disabled
I also did a google search

For top roles for sopranos in classical opera
But they involved murder, suicide, or going insane…
And when i audition i face sopranos by the millions;
It’s tough being a soprano

It really does suck
At the top of the fach-
Yes, i’m a f#cking soprano!
Even when i’m down with influenza

I’m still expected to sing those crazy-ass cadenzas…
It’s really such a shame;
I’ve got no one else to blame
For my constant strife

I’ll play the ingenue
Till i am ninety-two;
Yes, i am a soprano for life
A soprano….

Soprano…
Soprano…..
For life…….!
