Lyrics[]
Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-doo,
I've got a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa, do-ba-da-dee,
If you are wise you'll listen to me
What do you get when you guzzle down sweets
Eating as much as an elephant eats
What are you at, getting terribly fat
What do you think will come of that
I don't like the look of it
Oompa Loompa doo-ba-dee da
If you're not greedy, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doo-ba-dee do
Doo-ba-dee do
Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-doo,
I've got another puzzle for you.
Oompa Loompa, do-ba-da-dee,
If you are wise you'll listen to me.
Gum chewing's fine when it's once in a while.
It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile.
But it's repulsive revolting and wrong.
Chewing and chewing all day long.
The way that a cow does
Oompa Loompa do-ba-dee-da,
Given good manners, you will go far.
You will live in happiness too,
Like the oompa loompa do-ba-dee-doo.
Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-doo,
I've got another puzzle for you.
Oompa Loompa, do-ba-da-dee,
If you are wise you'll listen to me.
Who do you blame when your kid is a brat
Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat?
Blaming the kids is a lie and a shame
You know exactly who's to blame:
The mother and the father!
Oompa Loompa do-ba-dee-da,
If you're not spoiled then you will go far.
You will live in happiness too,
Like the oompa loompa do-ba-dee-doo.
Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-doo,
I've got another puzzle for you.
Oompa Loompa, do-ba-da-dee,
If you are wise you'll listen to me.
What do you get from a glut of TV?
A pain in the neck and an IQ of three
Why don't you try simply reading a book?
Or can you just not bear to look?
You'll get no, you'll get no
You'll get no, you'll get no
You'll get no commercials
Oompa Loompa do-ba-dee-da,
If you're not greedy, you will go far.
You will live in happiness, too
Like the Oompa
Oompa Loompa do-ba-dee-doo.
Lofty:
Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got a tragic tale for you
Oompa loompa doompety dee
If you are wise, you'll listen to me
Here in Loompa land, it's both luscious and green
But not conducive to growing the bean
My job was guarding what little we got
You came along and pinched the lot
Willy:
Hey, why didn't you say something?
Lofty:
Well, perhaps I drifted off
Oompa loompa doompety day
When I awoke, they sent me away
I'm disgraced, cast out in the cold
'Til I've paid my friends back a thousand fold
Willy:
A thousand fold? You gotta be kidding me
Lofty:
I repeat, a thousand fold
Oompa Loompa Doompety Dee,
I'm not in Premium Economy
I'd go First Class if I were you
Like the Oompa Loompas doompety-do!
Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got a little bonus for you
Sit back down and stay in your seat
For a last oompa-loomparous treat
Abacus Crunch returned to his home
Benz to her friends, Lottie Bell to her phones
Brave Larry made a triumphant comeback
One day, his ex wife saw the act
Laughed a lot and took him back
Oompa loompa doompety day
But what of Mrs. Scrubbit and Bleacher, you say?
Give me just a moment or two
And I'll oompa loompa show it to you
Uh, I do beg your pardon
What is wrong with this infernal machine?
I'll show it to you
There, much better
