Veruca Salt

Veruca Salt is a song from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (storage).

1964 and 2005 version
Oompa Loompas: Ahh, ahh

Ahh, ahh

Ahh, ahh-ahh-ahh

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 rather different set of friends

A fish head, for example, cut

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 its 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

Dear old mum, and loving dad

1971 and 2017 version
Oompa Loompas: Oompa loompa doompety doo

I've got another puzzle for you

Oompa loompa doompety 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 doompety da

If you're not spoiled then you will go far

You will live in happiness too

Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do
