| 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! |
