Sample of Oompa-Loompa Songs:
Augustus Gloop! Augustus Gloop!
The great big greedy nincompoop!
Dear friends, we surely all agree,
There's almost nothing worst to see,
Than some repulsive little bum,
Who's always chewing chewing-gum.
Veruca Salt, the little brute,
Has just gone down the rubbish chute.
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -
Or better still, just don't install
The idiotic thing at all.
