Lyrics
(Am)Whenever I see (D)someone less (G)fortunate than (C)I- and let's (Am)face it,
who (D)isn't less (G)fortunate than (F)I?- my tender (Eb)heart tends to (Db)start to (C)bleed.
And when (Am)someone needs a (D)makeover,
I (G)simply have to (C)take over;
I (Ab)know I know (Bb)exactly what they (G)need!
And (Gm7)even in your (C)case, though it's the (Am7)toughest case I've (D)yet to face,
don't (Gm)worry, I'm (Bb)determined to (C)succeed.
(F)Follow my (C)lead, (G9sus)and yes (C)indeed you will be...
(F)Popular, (C)You're gonna be (Bbsus2)(F)popular!
I'll (C)teach you the (Dm)proper (Am)plays when you (Dm)talk to (Am)boys,
little (Bbmaj7)ways to (C)flirt and (F)flounce.
I'll show you (A)what (Dm)shoes to (Faug)wear,
how to (F)fix your hair,
(Bb)ev'rything (Gm7)that really (C)counts to be (F)popular!
(C)I'll help you be (Bbsus2)(F)popular!
You'll (C)hang with the (Dm)right (Am)cohorts,
you'll be (Dm)good at (Am)sports, know the (Bbmaj7)slang you've (C)got to (F)flounce.
I'll show you (A)what (Dm)shoes to (Faug)wear,
how to (F)fix your hair,
(Bb)ev'rything (Gm7)that really (C)counts to be (A7sus)know.
(D)So let's (Gm7)start, 'cause you've got an awf'lly long (C)way to (F)go.
(Db)Don't be offended by my frank analysis;
(Abmaj7)think of it as personality (Ab)(Dbm7)dialysis.
Now that I've (Dbm6)chosen to (Dbm7)become a pal,
(Dbm6)a (Eb)sister and adviser,
(Bbm6)there's nobody wiser,
(C7)not when it comes to (F)popular.
(C)I know about (Bbsus2)(F)popular!
And (C)with an (Dm)assist from (Am)me to be (Dm)who you'll (Am)be,
(Bbmaj7)instead of dreary (A7)who (Dm)youwere...
(F7)are... there's (Bb)nothing that can stop (Dm)you (Gm7)from becoming (C)(F)populer...
lar... (C)La la
(F)la la.
(Gm7)We're gonna (Bb)make you (C)(F)popular!
(A)When I see (Adim)depressing (A)creatures (Dm)with (A)(Dm)unprepossessing features,
(G)I remind them (Gdim)on their (G)own (C)behalf to think of (A)celebrated (Adim)heads of (A)state or (Dm)'specially (A)great (Dm)communicators...
(G)Did they have (Gdim)brains or (G)knowledge?
(C)Don't make me laugh!
They were (F)popular.
(C)Please! It's all about (Bbsus2)(F)popular!
