Oompa loompa doompadee doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompadah dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me

What happens when your director can
Be the same guy from the first Batman
Wait, you might say, isn't he the one
Who loves those 60's horror icons?

And Johnny Depp, his regular star
Bad facial hair and a pack at the bar
Add Bonham Carter, what do you see?
It's the Tim Burton fam-i-ly!

Oompa loompa doompadee doo
How does a dwarf in a pantsuit go poo?
Ommpa loompa doompadah dee
It's not just a chocolate river, you see

What happens when your whole world is based
On how good light and dark choc-o-late taste?
What can an Oompa Loompa do
When he looks like the Soprano crew?

Oompa loompa doompadee doo
Our bougie moves fit on MTV2
Ommpa loompa doompadah dee
Tight crunk in four-part har-mon-y

What happens when Oompa folk appear
Just like Saddam Hussein in a mirror
Making the Wonka chocolate's fine
But our moves are more Kevin Federline

Oompa loompa doompadee doo
Tim Burton and comb, may we introduce you
Ommpa loompa doompadah dee
Where the Hell is Christina Ricci?

What can you say when your movie's one
Not "remake" but "re-imagination"
Gene Wilder fans old and pure panic
Hey, that's a word rhyming with Zanuck!

Now we're stars, Oompas walk down the aisle
With Liza Minnelli and queer eye style
If soon we're battered Liza will hum
"Life is a Perc-o-dan, old chum"

Oompa loompa doompadee doo
This flick's a wondrous adventure for you
Ommpa loompa doompadah dee
Thank God there's no more Lisa Marie!
