Popular (from Wicked) sing and play along

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 plays when you talk to boys,

little ways to flirt and flounce.

I'll show you what shoes to wear,

how to fix your hair,

ev'rything 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 flounce.

I'll show you what shoes to wear,

how to fix your hair,

ev'rything that really counts to be 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 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 youwere...

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 '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!

And though you protest your disinterest,

I know clandestinely you're gonna grin and bear it,

your newfound popularity.

La la la

la. You'll be popular,

just not quite as popular as me!
