Willy Wonka and Venture Capitalism

Oompa loompa doompety doo

We have a perfect deal for you

Oompa loompa doompety dee

If you are wise you'll listen to me

What do you get when you buy a company

That is struggling to make any money?

You strip it down and sell all of its parts

And pocket all of the profits

with no remorse

You don't care about the workers' fate

You only care about the growth rate

You know that greed is good and right

You sleep so soundly every night

Oompa loompa doompety da

If you are greedy you will go far

You will live in happiness too

Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do

Doompety do
