Lyrics
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do
I have a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-dee
If you are wise, you'll listen to me.
What do you get when you guzzle down sweets?
Eating as much as an elephant eats
What are you at getting terribly fat?
What do you think will come of that?
I don't like the look of it.
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-da
If you're not greedy, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do.
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do
I have another puzzle for you
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-da-dee
If you are wise, you'll listen to me.
Gum chewing's fine when it's once in a while
It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile
But it's repulsive, revolting, and wrong
Chewing and chewing all day long.
The way that a cow does.
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-da
Given good manners, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do.
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do
I have another puzzle for you
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-da-dee
If you are wise, you'll listen to me.
Who do you blame when your kid is a brat?
Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat
Blaming the kids is a lie and a shame
You know exactly who's to blame.
The mother and the father.
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-da
If you're not spoiled, then you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do.
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do
I have another puzzle for you
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-da-dee
If you are wise, you'll listen to me.
What do you get from a glut of TV?
A pain in the neck and an IQ of three
Why don't you try simply reading a book?
Or can you just not bear to look?
You'll get no. .you'll get no. .you'll get no commercials.
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-da
If you're not greedy, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do.
Information About The Oompa Loompa Songs
The Ooompa Loompas that sing the song originally appeared in Roald Dahl's book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". They were tiny people from an exotic land called "Loompaland" that were experts in the growing of cocoa beans. They were the only workers in the Chocolate Factory because they were the only ones Willy Wonka trusted with his chocolate.
The Oompa Loompa Songs were most famously portrayed on the silver screen in the 1971 film "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" starring Gene Wilder.

The famous "Oopma Loompa" dance can be performed while you sing this song! To dance like an Oompa Loompa hold both of your hand up like you are asking two people to stop. Then pump your legs up and down slightly in sync with the song. Then step left one step, step right one step, and spin around. You can do this in a line and switch places in the line by picking up the dancer to your left and putting them to the right of your place in the line.
Another fun Oompa Loompa activity requires an enormous blue ball, but if it can be found the entire group can sing the song while walking around it with hands behind the back before working together to push it in different directions. This ball will be a placeholder for Violet Beauregarde, who was turned into a huge blueberry by chewing experimental gum.
Each of the Oompa Loompa songs are meant to teach a specific moral lesson to children. They do not want children to eat too much, chew too much bubble gum, be disrespectful, or watch too much TV. These are wonderful lessons for any child.
