You see Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project.
|
|
[ELPHABA]
|
You really don't have to do that.
|
|
[GLINDA]
|
[brightly]
|
I know. That's what makes me so nice!
|
[sings]
|
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 AWF'LLY 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 SIS-
|
TER 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 BE
|
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!
|
|
[GLINDA]
|
WHY MISS ELPHBA, LOOK AT YOU
|
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL

[GLINDA]
|
[Calls after her]
|
You're welcome!
|
[sings]
|
AND THO' YOU PROTEST
|
YOUR DISINTEREST
|
I KNOW CLANDESTINEDLY
|
YOU'RE GONNA GRIN AND BEAR IT
|
YOUR NEW-FOUND POPULAR--ITY
|
LA LA LA LA
|
YOU'LL BE POPULAR
|
JUST NOT QUITE AS POPULAR
|
AS ME!
