Lyrics Danny Elfman

Danny Elfman

Augustus Gloop

Augustus Gloop, Augustus Gloop

The great big greedy nincompoop

Augustus Gloop, so big and vile

So greedy, foul, and infantile.

Come on we cried

The time is ripe

To send him shooting up the pipe

But don't dear children be alarmed

Augustus Gloop will not be harmed

Augustus Gloop will not be harmed

Although of course

We must admit

He will be altered quite a bit

Slowly wheels go round and round

And cogs begin to grind and pound

We'll boil him for a minute more

Until we're absolutely sure

Then out he comes

By god, by grace

A miracle has taken place

A miracle has taken place

This greedy brute

This louse's ear

Is loved by people everywhere

For who could hate or bear a grudge

Against a luscious bit of fudge
