Songs

This songs are sang by the Oompa-Loompa's. A lot of the words are taken from the novel, this is also from the 2005 version:

Augustus Gloop
Augustus' song is a mambo. It talks about how he is greedy and eats too much.

Augustus Gloop! Augustus Gloop! The great big greedy nincompoop!

Augustus Gloop! So big and vile! So greedy, foul, and infantile.

'Come on!' we cry, 'The time is ripe, to send him shooting up the pipe!'

But don't, dear children, be alarmed; Augustus Gloop will not be harmed, Augustus Gloop will not be harmed!

Although, of course, we must admit... he will be altered quite a bit...

Slowly wheels go round and round,And cogs begin to grind and pound.

* We'll boil him for a minute more, until we're absolutely sure, and out he comes, by God by grace, a miracle has taken place; a miracle has taken place!*

This greedy brute, this louse's ear, is loved by people everywhere! For who could hate or bear a grudge against a luscious bit of fudge?

The section in the stars has been removed from some DVD releases.

Violet Beauregarde
Violet's song is a 60's disco that talks about about how competitive she is, and how chewing gum is bad for you.

Listen close, listen hard, the tale of Violet Beauregarde. This dreadful 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.

She goes on chewing till at last, her chewing muscles grow so fast,  And for her face a giant chin, sticks out just like a violin...

Chewing, chewing all day long  Chewing, chewing all day long  Chewing, chewing all day long.

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.

Veruca Salt
Veruca's song is a 1970's Hippie song (with the sitar in the background) It is sung right after she falls down the garbage chute. It describes how rotten she is (figuratively, and literally).

Veruca Salt, the little brute, has just gone down the garbage chute,

And she will meet, as she descends...

A rather different set of friends, a rather different set of friends!

A fish head, for example caught this morning from a halibut.

An oyster from an oyster stew.

A steak that no one else would chew.

And lots of other things as well, each with it's rather horrid smell!

Horrid smell!

These are Veruca's new found friends, that she will meet as she descends

These are Veruca's new found friends!

Who went and spoiled her, who indeed?

Who pandered to her every need?

Who turned her into such a brat?

Who are the culprits, who did that?

The guilty ones, now this is sad

Are dear old mum and loving Dad.

Mike Teavee
Mike's song is a tribute to the punk. The song talks about how Mike watches television too much and how it could affect your brain. It also talks about how just because he watches a lot of Televisions, doesn't mean he knows everything and how the television is not always right.

The most important thing that we've ever learned,

The most important thing we've learned

as far as children are concerned,

is never, never let them near the television set

Or better still, just don't install the idiotic thing at all.

Never, never let them (x2)

(Rock instrumental)

It rots the senses in the head!

It keeps imagination dead!

It clogs and clutters up the mind!

''It makes a child so dull and blind! (So dull and blind, so dull and blind!)''

''He can no longer understand - a fairy-tale, a fairyland! (A fairyland, a fairyland!)''

His brain becomes as soft as cheese!

His thinking powers rust and freeze!

''He cannot think! he only sees... (He only sees, he only sees)''

Regarding little Mike Teavee,

We very much regret that we (regret that we)

Shall simply have to wait and see!

''Wait and see! (x5)''

We very much regret that we (regret that we)

Shall simply have to wait and see (and wait and see x6) if we can get him back his height

But if we can't...

It serves him right!
