Lyrics I'm an Accompanist - Sparks, Simon Helberg

I'm an Accompanist

I’m an accompanist
I’m an accompanist
I’m an accompanist for Anne, for Anne
Anne’s the one with the genius, the grace
I’m the one with the technical expertise
Ah, the tease!
Ah the tease of being so near, so far
From the star
From the stars
But someday I’ll join them
Cause I’m a conductor
I’m a conductor
I’m a conductor, conductor at heart
It’s a temp job I’m doing
This should only be seen as a means to an end
In the end
In the end I’ll lead orchestras near and far
Every bar
Every bar will bear my own signature
But I’m an accompanist at the present
For Ann, that’s what I do
But I’m an accompanist at the present
For Ann, but now let’s listen to her sing
