| GALINDA |
| (spoken) Elphie — now that we’re friends, I’ve decided to make you my new project. |
| ELPHABA |
| (spoken) You really don’t have to do that |
| GALINDA |
| (spoken) I know. |
| That’s what makes me so nice! |
| (sung) 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 |
| Tho’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 |
| 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 be come a pal, a 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 bee |
| Instead of dreary who-you-were: are: |
| There’s nothing that can stop you |
| From becoming popu- |
| Ler: lar: |
| La la la la We’re gonna make |
| You popular |
| 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! |
| (spoken) Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. |
| You’re beautiful. |
| ELPHABA (spoken) I — I have to go: |
| GALINDA |
| (spoken) You’re welcome! |
| (sung) And though you protest |
| Your disinterest |
| I know clandestinely |
| You’re gonna grin and bear it Your new found popularity |
| La la la la You’ll be popular — |
| Just not as quite as popular |
| As me! |
