I buy another store And when Veruca says, "Now!" The sweat forms on my brow And when Veruca says, "Again" No matter where or when We better all kowtow to More, now, again! When Veruca says, "Out!"

And then a worker stood and in her hand a panacea A golden ticket on display and what did sweet Veruca say? Daddy? Yes? Buy me North Korea When Veruca says, "Buy!"
