[00:00.66]Elphie – now that we’re friends, I’ve decided to make you my new project.

ELPHABA (spoken)
[00:05.58]You really don’t have to do that

GALINDA (spoken)
[00:07.02]I know. That’s what makes me so nice!
[00:11.76](sung) Whenever I see someone
[00:15.75]Less fortunate than I
[00:18.02](And let’s face it – who isn’t
[00:21.37]Less fortunate than I?)
[00:22.40]My tender heart
[00:23.83]Tends to start to bleed
[00:26.64]And when someone needs a makeover
[00:28.41]I simply have to take over
[00:30.24]I know I know exactly what they need
[00:36.72]And even in your case
[00:39.42]Tho’ it’s the toughest case I’ve yet to face
[00:44.58]Don’t worry – I’m determined to succeed
[00:49.86]Follow my lead
[00:52.99]And yes, indeed
[00:56.48]You will be

[01:01.60]Popular!
[01:03.17]You’re gonna be popular!
[01:06.20]I’ll teach you the proper ploys
[01:07.87]When you talk to boys
[01:10.14]Little ways to flirt and flounce
[01:11.86]I’ll show you what shoes to wear
[01:13.62]How to fix your hair
[01:15.53]Everything that really counts

[01:17.72]To be popular
[01:19.71]I’ll help you be popular!
[01:22.43]You’ll hang with the right cohorts
[01:24.32]You’ll be good at sports
[01:25.89]Know the slang you’ve got to know
[01:28.61]So let’s start
[01:29.50]’Cause you’ve got an awfully long way to go

[01:34.77]Don’t be offended by my frank analysis
[01:36.96]Think of it as personality dialysis
[01:39.76]Now that I’ve chosen to be come a pal, a
[01:42.80]Sister and adviser
[01:43.79]There’s nobody wiser
[01:45.16]Not when it comes to popular –
[01:48.01]I know about popular
[01:50.79]And with an assist from me
[01:52.49]To be who you’ll be
[01:53.94]Instead of dreary who-you-were: are
[01:57.06]There’s nothing that can stop you
[01:58.75]From becoming popu-
[02:00.32]Ler: lar:

[02:03.10]La la la la
[02:08.48]We’re gonna make
[02:09.60]You popular

[02:13.98]When I see depressing creatures
[02:16.16]With unprepossessing features
[02:18.99]I remind them on their own behalf
[02:22.43]To think of
[02:24.36]Celebrated heads of state or
[02:27.05]Specially great communicators
[02:30.26]Did they have brains or knowledge?
[02:32.52]Don’t make me laugh!

[02:34.94]They were popular! Please –
[02:37.11]It’s all about popular!
[02:39.62]It’s not about aptitude
[02:41.32]It’s the way you’re viewed
[02:43.24]So it’s very shrewd to be
[02:46.24]Very very popular
[02:48.11]Like me!

[02:52.77](spoken) Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. You’re beautiful.

ELPHABA (spoken)
[03:01.32]I – I have to go

GALINDA (spoken)
[03:04.16]You’re welcome!
[03:06.95](sung) And though you protest
[03:08.92]Your disinterest
[03:12.68]I know clandestinely
[03:19.07]You’re gonna grin and bear it
[03:20.82]Your new found popularity
[03:24.81]La la la la
[03:29.58]You’ll be popular –
[03:30.68]Just not as quite as popular
[03:34.04]As me!
