"Oompa Loompa"

"Oompa Loompa"



Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompety 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 doompety da
If you're not greedy, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do
Doompety do

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

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

Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompeda 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 could you just not bear to look
You'll get no
You'll get no
You'll get no
You'll get no
You'll get no commercials

Oompa loompa doompety da
If you're not greedy you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the - Oompa -
Oompa Loompa Doompety do

"Over The Rainbow"

"Over The Rainbow"



Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high.
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star and
wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops.
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then - oh, why can't I?
Why then - oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh, why can't I?

"Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers"

"Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers"



The toy shop door is locked up tight
And everything is quiet for the night
When suddenly
The clock strikes twelve
The fun's begun

The dolls are in their best arrayed
There's going to be a wonderful parade
Hark to the drum
Oh, here they come
Cries everyone

Hear them all cheering
Now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonet's flashing
Music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march
Sabers a-clinking
Soldiers a-winking
At each little pretty maid

Here they come, here they come
Here they come, here they come
Wooden soldiers on parade

"Parle Plus Bas"

"Parle Plus Bas"


[French release only]

Parle plus bas
Car on pourrait bien nous entendre
Le monde n'est pas pret pour tes paroles tendres
Le monde n'est pas pret pour nous
Il dirait tout simplement que nous sommes fous
Parle plus bas mais parle encore
De l'amour fou de l'amour fort
Parle plus bas
Car on pourrait bien nous surprendre
Tu sais tres bien
Qu'il ne voudrait jamais comprendre
Que dans nos coeurs moi, j'ai trouve
Ce que le monde refusait de nous donner
Parle plus bas mais parle encore
De l'amour fou de l'amour fort
Parle plus bas
Car on pourrait bien nous entendre
Tu sais tres bien que nous ne pouvons rien attendre
De ceux qui ont fait des chansons
Sans un "je t'aime" ou l'amour rime avec raison

"Please Come Home For Christmas"

"Please Come Home For Christmas"



Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
Oh what a christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone (my baby's gone) I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again

Choirs will be singing silent night
Those christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for christmas (please come home)
Please come home for christmas (please come home)
If not for christmas by new year's night

Friends and relations send salutations
Just as sure as the stars shine above (yes they do)
This is christmas, christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one that you love

Then won't you tell me, you'll never more roam
Christmas and new year (christmas and new year's)
Will find you at home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief or pain
I'll be happy (happy) that it's christmas once again.

"Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone"

"Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone"



Oh please, don't talk about me when I'm gone
Although our friendship ceases from now on

Hey Carmen, if you can't say anything real nice
It's better not to talk at all, that's my advice

We are parting
You go your way
I'll go mine
It's best that we do
Here's a little kiss
I hope that this brings lots of love to you

Makes no difference how I carry on
'Cause baby I know you'd better not talk about me when I'm gone

"Pure Imagination / Candy Man"

"Pure Imagination / Candy Man"



Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see into your imagination.
We'll begin with a spin traveling in the world of my creation.
What we'll see will defy explanation.
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it.
Anything you want to do it.

You can even eat the dishes
Who can take a sunrise
Sprinkle it with dew
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two
The Candy Man
The Candy Man can
The Candy Man can
'cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good

Who can take a rainbow
Wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make strawberry-lemon pie
The Candy Man
The Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
The Candy man makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes
Yes...
The Candy man makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes
Wanna change the world?
There's nothing to it.

There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination.
Living there you'll be free if you truly wish to be.

And the world tastes good 'cause the Candy Man thinks it should...

"Reason To Believe"

"Reason To Believe"



I'm catchin a plane home
I can feel the wind on my hair
Maybe someone's out there
Someone just as bare
And if somebody stacked the cards
I hope they're stacked for me
You see...
I feel just like a kid on Christmas Eve
You may not know my reason
But I've got reason to believe
My eyes gettin heavy
Hope I can make a bed tonight
I'll go to sleep alone
My true love stays unknown
My life's an open book
And it starts on chapter nine
I'm fine...
A tangled web is easier to weave
You may not know the reason
But I've got reason to believe
I had my fortune told
By a fork tongued lady
She told me I'd amount to what I paid her
I left her feeling worse
Than I did when I came in
And I know more now than I'd find out later
I wish I had an easy mind
And a pretty girl to hold my hand
Seems the closer I get
The water isn't wet
This lonely life of mine
Is the best I've ever had
It's not bad...
My coat's the only thing that's on my sleeve
You may not know my reason
But I've got reason to believe

"Recipe For Love"

"Recipe For Love"



A little bit of me and a whole lot of you
Add a dash of starlight and a dozen roses, too
Then let it rise for a hundred years or two
And that's the recipe for making love

It doesn't need sugar 'cause it's already sweet
It doesn't need an oven 'cause it's got a lot of heat
Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete
And that's the recipe for making love

And if you've made it right you'll know it
It's not like anything you've made before
And if you've made it wrong you'll know it
'Cause it won't keep you coming back for more

I didn't get it from my grandma's book upon the shelf
I didn't get it from a magical and culinary elf
No, a little birdie told me you can't make it by yourself
And that's the recipe for making love

"Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer"

"Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer"



Hey Kids!
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight"

Then how the reindeers loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history"

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Won't you guide my sleigh tonight"
