Connick, Jr., Harry - Oompa Loompa Lyrics
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
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
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompeda 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
Now oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got final puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompeda dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me
Now what do you get from a glut of TV
A pain in the neck and an IQ of three
Or could you just not bear to look
You'll get no commercials
Oompa loompa doompety da
Do as I say you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do

Connick, Jr., Harry Oompa Loompa Comments
Oompa Loompa doompity doo,
Baby Grinch is coming for you.
iimpa loomoa
My god those comments...
As if you could watch a Picasso and say : "how can you do this, this face doesn't seem right ..."
In my mind's eye it made me think of a cat walking across a piano.
Is he trying to be off rhythm? His phrasing is insanely off time.
That's called talent sir
That's called jazz, and as Oscar Kobalt said: talent.
He's insanely ON rhythm - its called syncopation.
the official results of Mr Tump's latest medical...... LOL
He sings in one time plays his left hand in another and his right in another so he's essentially in 3 different times
No, just syncopations. You can hear it reset every few measures.
my god....I just listen to this and have no idea why.....
That was awful....
Violet! You're turning violet, Violet!
Well that sucks...
That's what they sing at BRI
Google: Harry Connick Jr Weston, CT. He's not a native of New Orleans. He's a liar and a fraud!
+Biel2619 you're a special kind of stupid aren't you....
Robert, If you mean by "a special kind of stupid" my not being the sort of fellow who stays up until 2:26 on a Sunday morning listening to Harry Connick Jr sing "Oompa Loompa", not to mention my being able to finish most all of my sentences: Why Robert459? Many thanks for the kind compliment and best regards!
roberts459 yes and his father Harry Sr. was the DA in New Orleans
Biel2619 the liar and the fraud is the president elect Donald J Trump not Harry Connick Jr.
@Sherry Hannah GO TRUMP!!!
Poor "Oompa Loompa" song. What did he do to you? You used to be such a great song. Some things just shouldn't be messed with. I think Harry Connick should go back to his usual songs.
Have either of you once thought that he was doing it on purpose? it's a common thing to do in jazz.
And he doesn't even stay in time with the music half the time, so he makes it up by singing really quickly to get back in time.
Josh Terpstra he's in 3 different times on purpose
My god how can you not understand the genius behind this ...
Its a syncopated ostinato. Jesus...
Why...? His voice doesn't suit the song, or he doesn't sing it well. Also, why would you put the Oompa Loompa song on an album...
Awww no violet?
Oh my god, my Vivaldi-based brain is dying from this...THIS!
@DKLDrummer 4/4 :)
@DKLDrummer
It's in 4/4
The piano has a Dotted quarter note hemiola going on in the very beginning
So the hits are: 1+2 / +3+ / 4+1 / +2+ / 3+4 / +1+ / ect
Aren't hemiola's fun? ;)
Chris Fosnot then his right hand and singing are both in different times from his left hand and each other
can anyone tell me what time signature this is in?
Dakota Linville it's in 4/4
It's in 3 different ones, he sings in one plays 4/4 for his left hand and another one for his right hand
@Jon Angioi I don't think it's so much different times as that the piano is not playing on the first beat ;)
