Popular Lyrics

Galinda
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
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 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!
And with an assist from me
to be who you'll be,
instead of dreary who you were... 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!
