[00:05.25](spoken) You really don't have to do that
[00:07.29](spoken) I know. That's what makes me so nice!
[00:13.14](sung) Whenever I see someone
[00:15.71]Less fortunate than I
[00:17.96](And let's face it - who isn't
[00:20.21]Less fortunate than I?)
[00:22.46]My tender heart
[00:23.84]Tends to start to bleed
[00:26.50]And when someone needs a makeover
[00:28.30]I simply have to take over
[00:30.09]I know I know exactly what they need
[00:36.43]And even in your case
[00:39.90]Tho' it's the toughest case I've yet to face
[00:44.54]Don't worry - I'm determined to succeed
[00:49.84]Follow my lead
[00:52.78]And yes, indeed
[00:56.53]You will be...
[01:01.85]Popular!
[01:03.56]You're gonna be popular!
[01:06.12]I'll teach you the proper ploys
[01:08.10]When you talk to boys
[01:09.50]Little ways to flirt and flounce
[01:11.95]I'll show you what shoes to wear
[01:13.63]How to fix your hair
[01:15.37]Everything that really counts
[01:17.60]To be popular!
[01:19.83]I'll help you be popular!
[01:22.45]You'll hang with the right cohorts
[01:24.45]You'll be good at sports
[01:25.89]Know the slang you've got to know
[01:28.39]So let's start
[01:29.45]'Cause you've got an awf'lly long way to go...
[01:34.60]Don't be offended by my frank analysis
[01:37.10]Think of it as personality dialysis
[01:39.98]Now that I've chosen to be come a pal,
[01:41.91]A sister and adviser
[01:43.73]There's nobody wiser
[01:45.17]Not when it comes to popular -
[01:48.23]I know about popular
[01:50.86]And with an assist from me
[01:52.85]To be who you'll be
[01:54.48]Instead of dreary who-you-were... are...
[01:57.32]There's nothing that can stop you
[01:58.65]From becoming popu-
[02:00.09]Ler... lar...
[02:02.90][03:24.93]La la la la
[02:08.48]We're gonna make
[02:09.05]You popular...
[02:13.69]When I see depressing creatures
[02:16.31]With unprepossessing features
[02:19.07]I remind them on their own behalf
[02:22.43]To think of
[02:24.44]Celebrated heads of state or
[02:27.20]Specially great communicators
[02:30.25]Did they have brains or knowledge?
[02:32.62]Don't make me laugh!
[02:34.62]They were popular! Please -
[02:37.00]It's all about popular!
[02:39.77]It's not about aptitude
[02:41.71]It's the way you're viewed
[02:43.10]So it's very shrewd to be
[02:46.08]Very very popular
[02:48.14]Like me!
[02:52.40](spoken) Why, Miss Elphaba - look at you.
[02:58.25]You're beautiful.
[03:00.88](spoken) I- I have to go-
[03:04.43](spoken) You're welcome!
[03:06.60](sung) And though you protest
[03:09.50]Your disinterest
[03:12.73]I know clandestinely
[03:19.40]You're gonna grin and bear it
[03:20.80]Your new found popularity -
[03:29.13]You'll be popular
[03:30.51]Just not as quite as popular
[03:34.03]As me!
