CHORUS

Too-ri-ay oooh too-ri-ay

Willy Wonka, Wonka too-ri-ay


I thought I heard my grandpa say
Willy Wonka, Wonka, too-ri-ay
Today will be a golden day
Willy Wonka, Wonka, too-ri-ay


CHORUS


Who’s the master chocolatier?
Willy Wonka, Wonka, too-ri-ay
Hasn’t been seen outside in years
Willy Wonka, Wonka, too-ri-ay


CHORUS


Who made fudge from Augustus Gloop?
Willy Wonka, Wonka, too-ri-ay
The great big greedy nincompoop
Willy Wonka, Wonka, too-ri-ay

Whose new gum did Violet chew?
Willy Wonka, Wonka, too-ri-ay
Swelled her up and turned her blue
Willy Wonka, Wonka, too-ri-ay


CHORUS


Who gave Veruca Salt the boot?
Willy Wonka, Wonka, too-ri-ay
Threw her straight down the bad nut chute
Willy Wonka, Wonka, too-ri-ay


CHORUS


Who shrunk Mike in his TV?
Willy Wonka, Wonka, too-ri-ay
And then gave Charlie his factory
Willy Wonka, Wonka, too-ri-ay
