If the orchestra don't play when he begin to sing, it could be a separate score (?), (same for everyone). but if the orchestra play and sing , I would mark the lyrics for all instrumentists that can play AND sing at the same time (example : not for bassonist !) Probably with a second voice for lyrics on their stave. good luck!
