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 pop-u-u-lar
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 Pop-u-u-lar
You ll hang with the right cohorts
You ll be good at sports
Know the slang you ve got to know
(no 5)
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 and adviser
There s nobody wiser
Not when it comes to
Popular
I know about pop-u-u-lar
And with an assist from me
To be who you ll be
Instead of drearing who you were... are
There s nothing that can stop you
From becomming popu-ler... lar
La La La La
(no5)
We re gonna make you pop - u-lar
(no5)
When I see depressing creatures
With unpreposessing features
(no5)
I remind them on their own behalf to think of
(no5)
Celebrated heads of state
Or specially great communicators
(no5)
Did they have brains or knowledge?
Don t make me laugh
They were popular, please
It s all about pop-u-u - lar
It s not about aptitude
It s the way you re viewed
So it s very shrewd to be
Very very popu - lar like me
[Spoken]
And though you protest your disinterest
I know clandes - tine - ly
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
