Lyrics

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 boo
