Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oompa loompa, doompety-doo
I've got a tragic tale for you
Oompa loompa, doompety-dee
If you are wise, you'll listen to me
[Bridge]
Dear Loompaland is both luscious and green
But not conducive to growing the bean
My job was guarding what little we got
You came along and pinched the lot
Hey, why didn't you say something?
Well, perhaps I drifted off
[Verse 2]
Oompa loompa, doompety-day
When I awoke, they sent me away
I'm disgraced, cast out in the cold
Till I've paid my friends back a thousandfold
[Outro]
A thousandfold? You gotta be kidding me
I repeat, a thousandfold
