Danny Elfman - Augustus Gloop Lyrics

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 ripe
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

Although 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'll 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
