Lyrics
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 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 poise

When you talk to boys

Little ways to flirt and flounce

Ooh!

I'll show you what shoes to wear!

How to fix your hair!

Everthing 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 advisor

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 they have

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!

I, I have to go

You're welcome

And though you protest

Your disinterest

I know clandestinely

You're gonna grin and bear it!

Your new found popularity!

Aah!

La la, la la!

You'll be popular!

Just not quite as popular as ME!
