Popular Lyrics - Singles - Wicked

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! 

sung: 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! (spoken)

Mika sampled this 'popular' Wicked number in his aptly-titled single "Popular Song" featuring Ariana Grande. See all 

You're gonna be popular! 

I'll teach you the proper ploys 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 

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-you-were—well are! 

There's nothing that can stop you 

From becoming popular - 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 

sung: And though you protest 

Your disinterest 

I know clandestinely 

You're gonna grin and bear it 

Your new found popularity - Ah! 

La la la la 

You'll be popular 

Just not quite as popular 

As me!
