Everlasting Gobstoppers / Oompa Loompa

Oompa Loompa Cast

Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, 1971, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

But what's it do?
Can't you see? It makes Everlasting Gobstoppers
Did you say, "Everlasting Gobstoppers"?
That's right
For children with very little pocket money, you can suck 'em forever
What you are witnessing, dear friends
Is the most enormous miracle of the machine age
The creation of a confectionery giant
Finito
Oompa Loompa doompety doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompeda 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 doompety da
Given good manners, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompety do
