POPULARTORTURER
GALINDASAYID
(sung) Whenever I
see someone///Whenever I meet someone
Less fortunate than
I///Who doesn't cooperate with me
(And let's face it - who
isn't///And let's face it- who doesn't
Less fortunate than
I?)///Cooperate with me!?
My tender
heart///I'll make their tender arms
Tends to start to
bleed///Tend to start to bleed
And when someone needs a
makeover///And when someone needs their hair pulled out
I simply
have to take over///And really has to shriek and shout
I know I
know exactly what they need///I know, I know exactly why they
scream
And even in your case///And even on your face
Tho' it's the toughest
case I've yet to face///Tho' it's the thoughest face I've yet
to… face
Don't worry - I'm determined to succeed///Don't
worry- Or my name ain't "Sayid"
Follow my lead///Give up
your lead
And yes, indeed///And yes, indeed
You will
be:///You'll be a:
Popular!///Torturer!
You're
gonna be popular!///You're gonna be a torturer!
I'll teach
you the proper ploys///I'll teach you the proper tools
When
you talk to boys///When people break the rules
Little ways to
flirt and flounce///Little ways to hurt and break
I'll show you
what shoes to wear///I'll show you which reeds to jab
How to
fix your hair///Which leg to stab
Everything that really
counts///Everything that really counts
To be
popular///To be a torturer
I'll help you be
popular!///I'll help you be a torturer
You'll hang with the
right cohorts///You'll hurt the right traitors
You'll be good
at sports///Have 'em on all fours
Know the slang you've got
to know///Have the screwdrivers you gotta' own!
So let's
start///So let's start
'Cause you've got ///We want
wanna' make em'
an awfully long way to go:///Cry and groan
Don't be offended by my frank analysis
///Don't be afraid of my really huge wide nose
Think of it as
personality dialysis///I use it to thwart off enemies and foes
Now
that I've chosen to be come a pal, a///I hope you see me as a pal,
a
Sister and adviser///Brother and Adviser
There's nobody
wiser///There's nobody wiser
Not when it comes to popular
-///Not when it comes to torturers-
I know about popular///I
know about torturers
And with an assist from
me///And I hope you don't take this personally
To be who
you'll be///But you smell of potpourri!
Instead of
dreary who-you-were: well, are///I guess your gay like I thought
you were, well, are
There's nothing that can stop you///Still,
there's nothing that can stop you
From becoming popu-///From
becoming a tortu-
Ler: lar:///Rer, rar
La la la
la///Lost lost lost lost
We're gonna make///We're gonna
make you
You popular///A torturer
When I see
depressing creatures///When I see dishonest creatures
With
unprepossessing features///I mess up their personal features
I
remind them on their own behalf///I remind on their own behalf
To
think of ///To think of
Celebrated heads of state
or///Celebrated heads of the hatch or
Specially great
communicators///Rulers that ain't no more
Did they have
brains or knowledge?///Think that they were the kind ones?
Don't
make me laugh!///Don't make me laugh!!
They were popular!
Please -///Tee hee They were torturers! Please-
It's all
about popular!///It's all about torturers
It's not about
aptitude///It's not about the two-shoes
It's the way you're
viewed///It's the way you abuse
So it's very shrewd to
be///So you better choose to be
Very very popular///A
great, great torturer
Like me!///Like me!
(spoken) Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you.///Why, Miss Eggheadphaba, look at you.
You're beautiful.///You're… yeaaaah.
ELPHABA(spoken) I1 - I have to go:///JACK I have to go.
GALINDA///SAYID
(spoken)
You're welcome!///(In mocking tone) Thanks Sayid!
(sung) And
though you protest///All though you're insane
Your
disinterest///And you think its inhumane.
I know
clandestinely///I'm almost completely sure
You're gonna grin
and bear it///You'll be glad I taught you
Your new found
popularity///You're a brand new torturer!
La la la
la///Lost lost lost lost
You'll be popular -///You'll
be a torturer-
Just not as quite as popular///Just not quite a
torturer
As me!///As me!
