Lyrics

Oompa-oompa, loompa-loompa (oompa), loompa-loompa
Oompa-oompa, loompa-loompa (oompa), loompa-loompa
Oompa-oompa, loompa-loompa (oompa), loompa-loompa (yeah)
Oompa-oompa, loompa-loompa
Yeah
Listen close and listen hard
The tale of Violet Beauregarde (yeah)
The gentle girl, she sees no wrong
Chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Yeah
You gotta
Oompa-loompa, oompa-loompa, oompa-loompa, oompa-loompa
Oompa-loompa, oompa-loompa, oompa-loompa, oompa-loompa (yeah)
She goes on chewing 'til at last
Her chewing muscles grow so fast
And from her face her giant chin (yeah)
Catches like a violin
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Oompa-loompa, oompa-loompa, oompa-loompa, oompa-loompa
Oompa-loompa, oompa-loompa, oompa-loompa
(We)
For years and years she chews away
Her jaws get stronger every day
And with one great tremendous chew
They bite the poor girl's tongue in two
And that is why we try so hard
To save Miss Violet Beauregarde
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Chewing, chewing, all day long
Chewing, chewing, all day long
