Mike Teavee is the fifth song in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It is sung by the Oompa Loompas after Mike Teavee shrinks himself in the Wonkavision Studios in an attempt to teleport himself to live TV.

Summary[]

Lyrics[]

The most important thing
That we've ever learned
The most important thing we've learned
As far as children are concerned
Is never, never let them near
The television set
Or better still just don't install
The idiotic thing at all
Never, never let them
Never, never let them

It rots the senses in the head
It kills imagination dead
It clogs and clutters up the mind
It makes a child so dull and blind
So dull, so dull
He can no longer understand
A fairytale, a fairyland
A fairyland, a fairyland
His brain becomes as soft as cheese
His thinking powers rust and freeze
He cannot think he only sees

Regarding little Mike Teavee
We very much regret that we
(Regret that we)
Shall simply have to wait and see
(Wait and see, wait and see
Wait and see, wait and see)
We very much regret that we
Shall simply have to wait and see
If we can get him back his height
But if we can't...
It serves him right!
