Papa oompa oompa
Keep that candle burning bright, mother
I'll be kinda late tonight, mother
There's a yellow moon above, mother
Shining on the one I love, mother
Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, light my way
Keep that doorway open wide
Til I'm strolling through
That doorway with my bride
After we have had the wedding, mother
To the candle we'll be heading, mother
So before we're wining, dining, mother
Start that candle light a shining, mother
Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, light our way
Keep that doorway open wide
Til we're strolling through
That doorway side by side
(Side by side by side)
