Elphie, now that we're friends
I've decided to make you my new project
You really don't have to do that
I know
That's what makes me so niceWhenever 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 needAnd 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 bePopular
You're gonna be popular
I'll teach you the proper poise when you talk to boys
Little ways to flirt and flounce, oh!
I'll show you what shoes to wear
How to fix your hair
Everything that really counts to bePopular
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 goDon'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 toPopular
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 populer (lar!)La-la-la-la
We're gonna make you popularWhen I see depressing creatures
With unprepossessing features
I remind them on their own behalf
To think ofCelebrated heads of state or
Especially 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 meWhy, Miss Elphaba?
Look at you
You're beautiful
I, I have to go
You're welcomeAnd though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinely
You're gonna grin and bear it
Your newfound popularityLa-la-la-la
You'll be popular
Just not quite as popular as me!
