Lyrics

Oompa Veruca

Oompa Loompa Doopidy doo
Ive got another
Puzzle for you
Ooompa loompa doopidy dee
If you are wise
Youll listen to me
Who do you blame
When you kid is a brat
Pampered and spoiled
Like a semise cat
Blaming the kids
Is a lie and a shame
You know exactly
Whos to blame
The mother and the father
Oompa Loompa Doopidy dah
If your not spoiled
You will go far
You will live
In happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa
Doopidy doo
