GALINDA
(spoken) Elphie, now that we're friends,
I've decided to make you my new project.

ELPHABA
(spoken) You really don't have to do that.

GALINDA
(spoken) I know... that's what makes me so nice.

"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 poise
When you talk to boys
Little ways to flirt and flounce

Ooh! I'll show you what shoes to wear
How to fix your hair
Everything 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 awfully 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 sis-
ter an advisor
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 you were, well, are,
There's nothing that can stop you
From becoming populer... lar

La, la, la, la
We're gonna make you pop-u-lar

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"

(spoken) Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you,
you're beautiful

ELPHABA
(spoken) I... I have to go.

GALINDA
(spoken) You're welcome

"And though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinedly
You're gonna grin and bear it
Your new-found popularity

La, la, la, la
You'll be popular
Just not quite as popular
As me!"
