Popular Songtext

My tender heart tends to start to bleed.

And when someone needs a makeover,

I simply have to takeover, I know,

(Spoken) 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 suceed,

follow my lead and yes indeed,

you... will... be...
Popular,

you're gonna be Popular!

I'll teach you the proper poise when you talk to boys,

little ways to flirt and flounce!

Oooh! 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 become a pal, a sister, and adviser,

there's nobody wiser,

not when it comes to popular!

I know about popular!

And with an asist from me,

to be who you'll be instead of dreary who you were... are...

there's nothing that can stop you, from becoming populer...

lar...

La, la, la la,

we're gonna make you Popular!

When I see depressing creatures with unprepossesing 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! Hmm!

(Spoken) Why, miss Elphaba, look at you, you're beautiful...

Elphaba: (Spoken) I have to go.

Galinda: (spoken) You're welcome.

Galinda: (singing) And tho' you protest, your disinterest,

I know clandestinely,

you're gonna grin and bear it

your newfound popularity!

Aaah!

La, la, la, la

you'll be popular!

Just not quite as popular as

meeeeeeeeeeee!
