Oompa Loompa

Oompa loompa doompety doo

I've got a perfect puzzle for you

Oompa loompa doompety 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 doompety da

If you're not greedy, you will go far

You will live in happiness too

Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do

Doompety do

Oompa loompa doompety doo

I've got another puzzle for you

Oompa loompa doompeda 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 doompety da

Given good manners you will go far

You will live in happiness too

Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do

Oompa loompa doompety doo

I've got another puzzle for you

Oompa loompa doompety 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 doompety da

If you're not spoiled then you will go far

You will live in happiness too

Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do

Oompa loompa doompety doo

I've got another puzzle for you

Oompa loompa doompeda 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 could 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 doompety da

If you're not greedy you will go far

You will live in happiness too

Like the - Oompa -

Oompa Loompa Doompety do
