 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

So let's start, 'cause you've got an awfully long way to go

Don't be offended by my frank analysis

[Eb6/9]

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

We're gonna make you pop - u-lar

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, 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

 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
