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
/ (add9)
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
/ +/ Bm7b5
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
/ (no5)
So let's start, 'cause you've got an awfully long way to go
G#dim7 ()/ ()/
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) G#dim7
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
Bbaj7
So it's very shrewd to be
Very very popu - lar like me
-Dialogue-
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
