I′ve had much good luck as a performer
I've been cast in almost every show
From Carousel to Hair, Broadway--I was there
But you′ll never never know
Perhaps you picked me out last year in Phantom
Or underneath my dirt in Miserab... Le
But if you tried to pick me out of all the voices in the crowd
I am certain that you must have had a problem
I've had much good luck as a performer
My plight is quite familiar
To those who tread the boards
At the Neberlander, Schubert, or Rialto
And though I've got a great high C
(Sings high C)
The reaction seems to be
"Well that was (insert adjective here) but we need you singing alto"
Please give me a chance to sing melody
Give me a crack at the tune
I'm filled with chagrin every time I begin
*By the light of the silvery moon
One little shot at the melody
Give me a moment to shine
I′m sick of *Can′t help
*Loving that man of mine
Just look at Oklahoma for example
That rousing title number of the show
While everyone is singing Oklahoma
I get *sky-y-y-y-y-y-y yo ho!
And now a medley of some of my finer roles:
*The hills are alive with the sound of music
*Three little maids from school are we pert as a school girl well can be filled to the brim with girlish glee three little maids from school
*Touch me its so easy to leave me
*What mirror where? Which what where who who who? Such a pretty me. such a pretty me
Please pull a few strings for the melody
Don't care if the solo is teeny
It would be Nirvana
From Heaven such manna
To sing something other than *sweeny
I′m down on my knees for the melody
I'm begging with all of my might
Just half a bar! And let this girl be a star!
To *night!!

Heisler and Goldrich are the unappreciated geniuses of our time. Really fantastic duo of artists.

OMG. I have located the OG "Alto's Lament".
@ellariel7457
THIS is the one I've been looking for - and of course, it's by one of the creators! With this song, It's easy to go for the quick laugh with heavy sarcasm & flat vocals - but as a real-life alto, imho it's 10 times funnier sung "for real" ( of course, with a bit of comic flair!) ... not to mention the pleasure of enjoying her very real talent! Thanks to all concerned for this vid!
@theshakespear9985
Yeah right🥲
@theshakespear9985
I relate to this so muchhhh, im a deep alto that i can hardly copy a mezzo. But i also have very high whistle notes. However i hardly get the melody. This is the most relatable thing I've ever seen
@fabulousredhead
Tragically underappreciated video. :)
@morganirbs2523
Im not even an alto and I relate to this song so much. Probably because soprano two gets like this sometimes. We're the Altos when the Altos arent good enough
@autumnmoran8814
I'm not sure if I should be hurt by this
@jeryth057
Our Alto section is excellent (shout out Burnley Municipal Choir) I
like singing second soprano for the chance to sing a harmony 😀
@Leamichellefan2244
You’re preaching to the choir cause I had to deal with that in high school nine times out of 10 I was either meso soprano or alto. I was hardly ever soprano hardly ever and I was like why am I down here not only does this hurt, but it’s so boring put me up higher please oh God I hate it so much.
