ALTO: Hey! C'mon! It's time to sing!
TENOR: But I'm in the middle of baking!
ALTO: I don't care. C'mon!
ALTO: Hey! What are you two doing?
BASS 2: Reading comics. . . .
ALTO: You're supposed to be singing with me. Are comic books more important than our singing group?
BASS 1: Yes. . . .
ALTO: [sigh]
[knock knock]
SOPRANO 2: What's SHE so excited about?
BASS 2: She's ready to perform our next song.
SOPRANO 2: Yeah, but it's weird for her to be this into it. Isn't it usually the first soprano who's bugging us to sing?
BASS 1: This time it's different. The alto has the solo.
ALTO: I HAVE A MELODY!!!!!!!
SOPRANO 2: Wow. How did that happen?
BASS 1: Well, we were tired of hearing about how the alto never gets a melody so we found this song for her.
BASS 2: Yeah. I mean, we don't care. We never get the lead, so it makes no difference to us who has it. We just want her to be happy.
BASS 1: And stop whining.
SOPRANO 2: But how'd you get the first soprano to let someone else have the lead?
BASS 2: It wasn't easy, but we used a secret weapon.
SOPRANO 2: Which is?
BASS 1: Flattery.
SOPRANO 1: I'm the LEAD. That's what I'm here for. I'm supposed to have the solos!
BASS 2: But this lead part was made for the alto range.
SOPRANO 1: Doesn't matter. I can sing those notes too.
BASS 1: Yeah, so could we, but listen, you're needed elsewhere.
SOPRANO 1: I'm needed?
BASS 1: Yes. See, this song's first soprano line requires someone who can sustain the top of the chord and not get tired out from all those high notes.
SOPRANO 1: Well, how high are we talking?
BASS 2: Mostly D's.
BASS 1: With an occasional F-sharp.
SOPRANO 1: Oh gee, sounds rough. F-sharp is nothing.
BASS 1: Maybe to YOU. Which is why we need you for this. No one else can do it.
SOPRANO 1: . . . Really?
SOPRANO 2: Ahaha, nice!
BASS 1: Well, what can we say? We're the masters of strategy.
BASS 2: Or the first soprano's just easily manipulated.
SOPRANO 2: . . . So where is she anyway? I haven't seen her all day.
ALTO: Wake up!
