Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project. |
|
Elphaba |
|
You really don't have to do that. |
|
Galinda |
|
I know. That's what makes me so nice! |
|
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 |
|
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, 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... |
|
La la, la la! |
|
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! |
|
Elphaba |
|
I, I have to go... |
|
Galinda |
|
You're welcome... |
|
And though you protest |
|
Your disinterest |
|
I know clandestinely |
|
You're gonna grin and bear it |
|
Your new found popularity |
|
Ohh! |
|
La la, la la! |
|
You'll be popular |
|
Just not quite as popular as me! |
