We've got a thing to get off our chest
Oompa loompa doompety day
Though we are small, we've something to say
What do you get when you rewrite old books?
Twitter pile on and cynical looks
Causing a fuss over gender and sex
Wont change the meaning of those texts

People go bald and are ugly and fat
If you're a writer, take this advice
Stories are best when they're not at all nice
You say that it's bad cos the story's unfair
Tweak the odd word, add a bit here and there
We have to abide by the critical folk
But you don't like it when they say you're 'woke'

Cancelling's good when it's Amazon Prime
But implications are vast
When you try to censor the past
Stories reflect all the faults of their time
Stop us from thinking that things were are all fine
Didn't you spot when you made us all white
Loompas are less than half your height?
Oompa loompa doompety dune
Learn from the words of this cautionary tune
Cancel culture will go its way too
As the Oompa Loompas surely will do
