Augustus Gloop Goes up the Pipe
3
'Augustus Gloop!' chanted the Oompa-Loompas. 'Augustus Gloop! Augustus Gloop! The great big greedy nincompoop! How long could we allow this beast To gorge and guzzle, feed and feast On everything he wanted to? Great Scott! It simply wouldn't do! However long this pig might live, We're positive he'd never give Even the smallest bit of fun Or happiness to anyone. So what we do in cases such As this, we use the gentle touch, And carefully we take the brat And turn him into something that Will give great pleasure to us all — A doll, for instance, or a ball, Or marbles or a rocking horse. But this revolting boy, of course, Was so unutterably vile, So greedy, foul, and infantile, He left a most disgusting taste Inside our mouths, and so in haste We chose a thing that, come what may, Would take the nasty taste away. "Come on!" we cried. "The time is ripe To send him shooting up the pipe! He has to go! It has to be!" And very soon, he's going to see Inside the room to which he's gone Some funny things are going on. But don't, dear children, be alarmed; Augustus Gloop will not be harmed, Although, of course, we must admit He will be altered quite a bit. He'll be quite changed from what he's been, When he goes through the fudge machine: Slowly, the wheels go round and round, The cogs begin to grind and pound; A hundred knives go slice, slice, slice; We add some sugar, cream, and spice; We boil him for a minute more, Until we're absolutely sure That all the greed and all the gall Is boiled away for once and all. Then out he comes! And now! By grace! A miracle has taken place! This boy, who only just before Was loathed by men from shore to shore, 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?'
'I told you they loved singing!' cried Mr Wonka. 'Aren't they delightful? Aren't they charming? But you mustn't believe a word they said. It's all nonsense, every bit of it!'
'Are the Oompa-Loompas really joking, Grandpa?' asked Charlie.
'Of course they're joking,' answered Grandpa Joe. 'They must be joking. At least, I hope they're joking. Don't you?'

奥姆帕·洛姆帕人唱起来：
“奥古斯塔斯·格卢普！
臭古斯塔斯·格卢普！奥古斯塔斯·格卢普！
这个最最贪馋的大傻瓜！
我们要等多久才能不让这个坏孩子
再去狼吞虎咽尽情享用
他想吃的每样东西？
伟大的司各特！这样可绝对不行！
不管这只馋猪活多久，
我们确信他绝不会
给任何人带来一点点
快乐和愉快。
因此我们必须这样干，
我们轻轻伸出手，
小心带走这个坏娃娃，
把他变个样，
变成个木偶或是个球儿，
要不变成弹子或是木马，
这样大家都会很高兴。
当然这个令人讨厌的孩子
实在令人太反感，
那么贪馋愚蠢而又不懂事
他在我们嘴里留下了
最令人恶心的味道。让我们快快
找一样东西来，随便什么都行，
把这讨厌的味道带走。
‘来啊！’我们嚷道，‘时机已经成熟，
把他快快从那根管子里早送走！’
他一定得走！一定得走！
要不了多久他就会看见，
他到达的那个房间
有一些滑稽的东西。
别激动，亲爱的孩子们，
奥古斯塔斯·格卢普不会受伤害。
当然我们也得承认
得让他好好来个改变。
等他通过那台软糖机，
他会变褥不是原来那个样：
飞轮慢慢地转动着，转动着，
齿轮啮合嘭嘭作响，
一百把刀片飞旋着飞旋着，
我们加进糖奶油和香料，
把他煮上一分多钟；
直到我们确信，
所有的贪馋所有的缺点
这次永远给蒸煮得干干净净，
然后他就会出来！哈！谢天谢地！
一个奇迹已经创造！
这个男孩子，他以前只是个
处处都让人讨厌
贪馋恶劣不受欢迎的家伙，
可现在变得人人见了人人爱！
因为有谁讨厌或抱怨
吃上一块美味可口的果汁软糖？”
“我告诉过你们他们喜爱唱歌！”旺卡先生嚷道，“他们不是很讨人喜欢吗？不是很吸引人吗？不过你们千万别相信他们说的每一句话。那都是无稽之谈，全都是！”
“这些奥姆帕－洛姆帕人真的是在开玩笑吗，爷爷？”查理问道。
“当然，他们是在开玩笑，”乔爷爷答道，“他们准是在开玩笑。至少我希望他们是在开玩笑，你呢？”
