LYRICS:

KAREN
Here I am, the musical boss,
I’m paid to lead, so I’m calling the shots.
You want a show? Well, buckle in tight,
'Cause I’ll make it sound perfect, no matter the fight!

You think you can sing in unison, oh please,
Not on my watch, that’s pure laziness, jeez!
I’m here every week, at this piano I play,
Reading the notes while you wing it away.
I’ve got harmonies you can’t comprehend,
And don’t even get me started on how it should end!

I’m the musical director, the queen of the score,
You don’t know your part? Well, that’s what I’m for!
You better hit the notes or I’ll make it clear,
You’ll hear me loud and perfect from back here!

Fifteen musicians, that’s my demand,
No, Catherine, I won’t shrink the band!
No keyboards pretending to be a violin,
I want the real thing, get the budget in!
Electric drums? Oh, don’t make me laugh,
If the sound drowns you out, that’s not my bad!

I’m the musical director, you’ll follow my lead,
Get it right, or you’ll never succeed.
Real drums, real strings, a full orchestra too,
And if you don’t like it, I’ve got news for you!

I hear every mistake, the tiniest flub,
So step it up, people, don’t give me a snub!
You’ll thank me later when the show’s a success,
'Cause when it comes to music, honey, I’m the best!

I’m the musical director, the genius in charge,
So follow my lead, or you won’t get far!
The sound’s gotta be perfect, that’s just how I roll,
And trust me, I’ll get it, I've got total control!
