Galinda: Elphie ... now that we're friends, I've decided
to make you my new project.
Elphaba: You really don't have to do that.
Galinda: 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 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
         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 POPULER. LAR.
         LA LA LA LA
         WE'RE GONNA MAKE YOU POPULAR
         WHEN I SEE DEPRESSING CREATURES
         WITH UNPREPOSESSING 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
         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
         Why, Miss Elphaba. Look at you. You're beautiful.
Elphaba: I have to go.
Galinda: You're welcome!
         AND THOUGH YOU PROTEST
         YOUR DISINTEREST
         I KNOW CLANDESTINEDLY
         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!
