Oompa loompa doom pa dee do
And true to their namesakes here we see Augustus busily gorging himself on chocolate while the ever-pushy Violet (Beau) becomes the first to be knitted into socks.
Now off to clean house and sneak in a few rows of knitting while visions of small orange men and those catchy songs are fresh in my noggin'. And because I love to share, here are the words sang by those sage fellows.
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do I have a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-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, doom-pa-dee-da
If you're not greedy, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do
I have another puzzle for you
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-da-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, doom-pa-dee-da
Given good manners, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do
I have another puzzle for you
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-da-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, doom-pa-dee-da
If you're not spoiled, then you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do
I have another puzzle for you
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-da-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 can you just not bear to look?
You'll get no...you'll get no...you'll get no commercials
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-da
If you're not greedy, you will go far
You will live in happiness too

I have never known all the words. The Violet socks are much prettier than the little brat in the movie. I also love the Augustas colorway. What a neat idea. Mama E rocks with her dyeing. I so wish I could, too.....sigh.
Does Lemony Snicket have anything on Roald Dahl? Hmmm....
The socks look wonderful Heide!!! Love that colour. Your feet and legs look so elegant in this pic too...mine are short and dumpy like me. LOL.
