Popular (From The Musical "Wicked")

Popular (From The Musical Wicked) - The Hit Crew

(sung) Whenever I find 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 your 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 ahh

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 be

Instead of dreary who-you-were—well are

There's nothing that can stop you

From becoming popu-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 Ha ha

They were popular Please -

It's all about popular

It's not about atittude

It's the way you're viewed

So it's very shrewd to be

Very very popular

Like me (Ahh )

(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 quite as popular

As me
