Lyrics

Oompa Violet

Oompa Lumpa duppidy doo, I've got another puzzle for you Oompa Lumpa duppidy dee, if you're wise you'll listen to me Gum chewing's fine when its once in a while It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile

But it repulsive, revolting and wrong Chewing and chewing all day long The way that a cow does Oompa Lumpa duippidy da Given good manners you will go far You will live in happyness too Like the Oompa Lumpa duppidy doo! Duppidy do.
