Popular - Wicked The Musical

[00:00.32] Elphie, now that we're friends

[00:02.57] I've decided to make you my new project

[00:05.08] You really don't have to do that

[00:06.99] I know. That's what makes me so nice!

[00:13.06] Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I

[00:17.81] And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I?

[00:22.34] My tender heart tends to start to bleed

[00:26.34] And when someone needs a makeover I simply have to take over

[00:29.85] I know, I know exactly what they need

[00:36.39] And even in your case

[00:39.89] Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face

[00:44.83] Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed, follow my lead

[00:52.51] And yes, indeed, you will be

[01:01.94] Popular, you're gonna be popular

[01:06.09] I'll teach you the proper poise when you talk to boys

[01:09.35] Little ways to flirt and flounce, ooh!

[01:11.62] I'll show you what shoes to wear, how to fix your hair

[01:15.12] Everything that really counts to be

[01:17.89] Popular, I'll help you be popular

[01:22.40] You'll hang with the right cohorts, you'll be good at sports

[01:25.66] Know the slang you've got to know

[01:28.42] So let's start cause you've got an awfully long way to go

[01:34.44] Don't be offended by my frank analysis

[01:36.95] Think of it as personality dialysis

[01:39.97] Now that I've chosen to become a pal

[01:41.98] A sister and adviser, there's nobody wiser

[01:45.24] Not when it comes to

[01:46.38] Popular, I know about popular

[01:50.90] And with an assist from me to be who you'll be

[01:54.42] Instead of dreary who-you-were, well, are

[01:57.17] There's nothing that can stop you from becoming popu-ler... lar

[02:02.70] La la, la la

[02:08.47] We're gonna make you popular

[02:13.48] When I see depressing creatures

[02:15.99] With unprepossessing features

[02:19.00] I remind them on their own behalf to think of

[02:24.27] Celebrated heads of state or

[02:27.03] Especially great communicators

[02:30.05] Did they have brains or knowledge?

[02:32.56] Don't make me laugh!

[02:34.31] They were popular! Please, it's all about popular

[02:39.57] It's not about aptitude, it's the way you're viewed

[02:42.84] So it's very shrewd to be

[02:45.85] Very, very popular like me

[02:52.47] Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. You're beautiful!

[03:01.15] I... I have to go

[03:04.05] You're welcome...

[03:06.56] And though you protest your disinterest

[03:12.58] I know clandestinely

[03:18.87] You're gonna grin and bear it: your newfound popularity

[03:24.88] La la, la la

[03:28.89] You'll be popular

[03:30.40] Just not quite as popular as me!
