Whenever I see someone
less fortunate than I
and let's face it
who isn't
less fortunate than I?
My tender heart
tends to start to bleed
And when someone
needs a makeover
I simply have to
take over
I know I know
Exactly what they need
and even in your case
Though it's the toughest
case I've yet to face
Don't worry
I'm determined
to succeed
follow my lead
and yes indeed
You will be
Popular!
You're gonna
be popular!
I'll teach you
the proper ploys
when you talk to boys
little ways to
flirt and flounce
I'll show you what
shoes to wear
how to fix your hair
everything that really
counts to be popular
I'll help you be popular
you'll hang with
the right cohorts
you'll be good at sports
Know the slang
you've got to know
so let's start
'cause you've got an
awfully long way to go
Don't be offended
by my frank analysis
think of it as
personality dialysis
Now that I've chosen
to be come a pal a
sister and adviser
there's nobody wiser
Not when it comes
to popular
I know about popular
And with an assist
from me
to be who you'll be
instead of dreary
who-you-were well are
There's nothing that
can stop you
from becoming popu-ler
lar
Laa laa laa laa
we're gonna make
you pop-u-lar
When I see depressing
creatures
with unprepossessing
features
I remind them
on their own behalf
to think of
celebrated heads
of state or
Specially great
communicators
Did they have brains
or knowledge?
Don't make me laugh!
They were popular!
Please it's all about
popular!
It's not about aptitude
It's the way you're viewed
so it's very shrewd to be
very very popular
like me!
Why Miss Elphaba
Look at you
You're beautiful
I I have to go
You're welcome!
And though you protest
your disinterest
I know clandestinely
You're gonna
grin and bear it
your new found
popularity oh!
Laa laa laa laa
you'll be popular
just not quite
as popular as me!.....
