POPULAR

GALINDA
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 make-over
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 Pop-u-oo-lar
I'll teach you the proper poise
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 Pop-u-oo-lar
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 a___ysis
Think of it as personality dialysis
Now that I've chosen to become a pal -
A sister - An advisor
There's nobody wiser
Not when it comes to

Popular
I know about Pop-u-oo-lar
And with an a__ist 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 Popular - LAR!

La la la la
We're gonna make you Popular

When I see depressing creatures
With unpreposessing 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 Pop-u-oo-lar
It's not about aptitute
It's the way you're viewed
So it's very shrewed to be
Very, very Popular
Like me!

Why Miss Elphaba, look at you. You're beautiful...

ELPHABA
I have to go

(ELPHABA runs off.)

GALINDA
You're welcome...?

And though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinely
You're gonna grin and bear it
In your new-found popularity

La la la la
You'll be Popular
Just now quite as Popular
As me!
