"now that we're friends, i've decided to make you my new project!"
|
"you really don't have to do that..."
|
"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 propper poise,
|
when you talk to boys,
|
little ways to flirt and flounce, ohhh!
|
i'll show you what shoes to wear!
|
how to fix your hair!
|
everthing 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, sister and 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 popular... lare...
|
|
la la, la la!
|
we're gonna make you pop-u-lar!
|
|
when i see depressing creatures,
|
with un-prepossessing features,
|
i remind them on their own behalf
|
to - think - of
|
celebrated heads of state,
|
or especially 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!
|
|
"why, miss Elphebah, look at you. you're beautiful!"
|
"i, i have to go..."
|
"you're welcome..."
|
|
and though you protest,
|
your disinterest,
|
i know clandestinly,
|
you're gonna' grin and bear it!
|
you're new found popularity!
|
ohh.
|
|
la la, la la!
|
you'll be popular!
|
just not quite as popular as ME!
