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.
