[00:00.00][00:07.00][02:52.10][03:04.13] GALINDA
[00:00.30] (spoken) Elphie - now that we're friends,
[00:02.49] I've decided to make you my new project.
[00:04.98][00:06.67][01:00.25][01:17.56][01:34.22][02:01.78][02:11.45][02:34.31][02:49.39][02:59.50][03:02.69][03:40.19]
[00:05.25][03:00.58] ELPHABA
[00:05.25] (spoken) You really don't have to do that
[00:07.29] (spoken) I know. That's what makes me so nice!
[00:13.14] (sung) Whenever I see someone
[00:15.71] Less fortunate than I
[00:17.96] (And let's face it - who isn't
[00:20.21] Less fortunate than I?)
[00:22.46] My tender heart
[00:23.84] Tends to start to bleed
[00:26.50] And when someone needs a makeover
[00:28.30] I simply have to take over
[00:30.09] I know I know exactly what they need
[00:36.43] And even in your case
[00:39.90] Tho' it's the toughest case I've yet to face
[00:44.54] Don't worry - I'm determined to succeed
[00:49.84] Follow my lead
[00:52.78] And yes, indeed
[00:56.53] You will be...
[01:01.85] Popular!
[01:03.56] You're gonna be popular!
[01:06.12] I'll teach you the proper ploys
[01:08.10] When you talk to boys
[01:09.50] Little ways to flirt and flounce
[01:11.95] I'll show you what shoes to wear
[01:13.63] How to fix your hair
[01:15.37] Everything that really counts
[01:17.60] To be popular!
[01:19.83] I'll help you be popular!
[01:22.45] You'll hang with the right cohorts
[01:24.45] You'll be good at sports
[01:25.89] Know the slang you've got to know
[01:28.39] So let's start
[01:29.45] 'Cause you've got an awf'lly long way to go...
[01:34.60] Don't be offended by my frank analysis
[01:37.10] Think of it as personality dialysis
[01:39.98] Now that I've chosen to be come a pal,
[01:41.91] A sister and adviser
[01:43.73] There's nobody wiser
[01:45.17] Not when it comes to popular -
[01:48.23] I know about popular
[01:50.86] And with an assist from me
[01:52.85] To be who you'll be
[01:54.48] Instead of dreary who-you-were... are...
[01:57.32] There's nothing that can stop you
[01:58.65] From becoming popu-
[02:00.09] Ler... lar...
[02:02.90][03:24.93] La la la la
[02:08.48] We're gonna make
[02:09.05] You popular...
[02:13.69] When I see depressing creatures
[02:16.31] With unprepossessing features
[02:19.07] I remind them on their own behalf
[02:22.43] To think of
[02:24.44] Celebrated heads of state or
[02:27.20] Specially great communicators
[02:30.25] Did they have brains or knowledge?
[02:32.62] Don't make me laugh!
[02:34.62] They were popular! Please -
[02:37.00] It's all about popular!
[02:39.77] It's not about aptitude
[02:41.71] It's the way you're viewed
[02:43.10] So it's very shrewd to be
[02:46.08] Very very popular
[02:48.14] Like me!
[02:52.40] (spoken) Why, Miss Elphaba - look at you.
[02:58.25] You're beautiful.
[03:00.88] (spoken) I- I have to go-
[03:04.43] (spoken) You're welcome!
[03:06.60] (sung) And though you protest
[03:09.50] Your disinterest
[03:12.73] I know clandestinely
[03:19.40] You're gonna grin and bear it
[03:20.80] Your new found popularity -
[03:29.13] You'll be popular
[03:30.51] Just not as quite as popular
[03:34.03] As me!
