Lyrics Popular (From "Wicked") - Original Cast Recording
You
see
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
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
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...
or
are...
There's
nothing
that
can
stop
you
From
becoming
populer—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
Especially
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
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
La
la
la
la
You′ll
be
popular
Just
not
quite
as
popular
As
me!
