Elphie, 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.
[C] Whenever [D] I see someone [G] less fortunate than I,
[Am] And let's face it,
[D] Who is it?
[G] Less fortunate than [F] I,
My [Eb] tender [Db] heart tends to start to [C] bleed.
And when [Am] someone needs a makeover,
I simply have to take [Bb] over.
I know, I know.
[Ab] Exactly what [G] they need.
[Gm] And even in [C] your case,
Though [Am] it's the toughest case [D] I've yet to face,
[Gm] Don't worry, [Eb] I'm determined to [G] succeed.
[C] Follow my [G] lead,
And yes, [C] indeed,
[Bb] You [A] will be [F] popular.
[C] You're [Bb] gonna be popular.
[C] I'll [Dm] teach you the proper poise when you talk to boys,
Little [C] ways to flirt with [F] clowns.
I'll show you what shoes to [F] wear,
How to fix your [G] hair,
[Bb] Everything that [C] really counts to be popular.
I'll help you be [F] popular.
You'll [C] hang with the right cohorts,
You'll be good at sports,
Know the slang you've got [D] to know.
So [Gm] let's start,
Cause you've got an awfully long way to go.
[Db] Don't be offended by my prank [Ab] analysis,
Think of it as personality [Dbm] dialysis.
Now that I've chosen to become a [Eb] policyster and advisor,
[Db] There's nobody [C] wilder,
Not when it [F] comes to popular.
I know [Bb] about popular,
[F] And with the necessites for me to be who you'll be,
Instead [D] of dreary who you were,
Well, are.
There's [Bb] nothing that can stop you from becoming [F] popular.

When I [Bm] see depressing creatures,
With [Dm] unprepossessing features,
[G] I really [C] only have to think [A] of,
Celebrated heads of state,
Or especially great [Dm] communicators.
Did they have brains [G] or knowledge?
[C] Don't make me laugh.
They were popular.
Please.
It's all about [F] popular.
It's not about aptitude,
It's the way [Am] you're viewed,
[Dm] So it's very shrewd to be,
Very, very [C] popular,
Like [Bb] me.
[A] Why, [Am] Miss Elphaba,
[Dm] Look at you.
[G] You're beautiful.
[C]
I have to go.
You're welcome.
And though you [F] protest, [D] Your [F] disinterest,
[Bb]
I know [Dm] clandestine me.
[G]
[Gm] You're gonna grin and bear it,
You know you found [F] popularity.
Oh!
[C] [F]
[Bb] Just not quite [C] as popular,
As me.
