Wicked - Popular

GLINDA
(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...

GLINDA
(spoken)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 ploys,
When you talk to boys,
Little ways to flirt and flounce, oh!
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 advisor,
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... (spoken) Well, are.
There's nothing that can stop you,
From becoming popular... lar...

La la, la la!
We're gonna make you pop-u-lar!

When I see depressing creatures,
With un-prepossessing 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 attitude,
It's the way you're viewed,
So it's very shrewd to be,
Very very popular like ME!!!

ELPHBA
This is never going to work!

GLINDA
(spoken)ohh Elpie ....ohh ohhh ohh your whole life is going to change and all because of me!Ill show you how to toss your hair ....you just flip it.... you just flip it ..or you can use your hand...your hand or just use your whole body..ahhhhhhhhhhh.. dont do that one!!!

Now for the finish touch (she puts a flower in her hair)Yep pink goes good with green!.. Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. You're beautiful!

ELPHABA
(spoken) I, I have to go...

GLINDA
(spoken) 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!
