Danny Elfman
"Augustus Gloop"


Augustus Gloop, Augustus Gloop
The great big greedy nincompoop
Augustus Gloop, so big and vile
So greedy, foul and infantile

"Come on!" we cried, "the time is right
To send him shooting up the pipe"
But don't dear children be alarmed
Augustus Gloop will not be harmed, Augustus Gloop will not be harmed

:: musical and choreographical break ::

And though of course we must admit
He will be altered quite a bit
Slowly wheels go 'round and 'round
And cogs begin to grind and pound

We boil him for a minute more
Until we're absolutely sure
Then out he comes by God, by grace
A miracle has taken place a miracle has taken place

This greedy brute, this louse's ear
Is loved by people everywhere
For who could hate or bear a grudge
Against a luscious bit of fudge!
