Lyrics and Chords


[Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory]

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

/ Am - - G / - Am F E7 / 1st / - Am E7 Am /

  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

  / F - - C / G - C - / F - C - / B7 - - A7 B7 - / B7 - / 

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

/ Am - - G / - Am F E7 / 1st / Am - - AmE7 Am /

Oompa Loompa doompety doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompedah 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 doompedah 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 book
  Or could you just not bear to look
  You'll get no
       You'll get no
            You'll get no
                 You'll get no
  You'll get no commercials

Oompa Loompa doompety da
If you like reading you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the - Oompa -
Oompa Loompa doompety do
