You seem to be leaving out diegetic singing, where rhymes can certainly happen in "real time" because the song the character is singing already rhymes. And sometimes with a purpose. The rhyming in "Do Re Mi," for instance, seems designed to help the children remember the solfege. A song like "Tomorrow Belongs To Me" has the feel of a folk song with its simple rhyming, etc.
Then there are also songs like "A Little Priest" and "You're The Top" where the one-upsmanship game of rhyming is an integral part. Sondheim, of course, makes that quite clear when Sweeney can't come up with a rhyme for "locksmith." ;-) |
