Everything Fine In 2005

Everything Fine In 2005

It is thirty-seven years since 71

We have a new movie, and boy was it fun

The last movie made a writer mad

It wasn't like the book and that was bad

A new movie had to be made

That much was certain

So we hired a director they called Tim Burton

And even though the original had a pretty decent rep

The new version had mister Johnny Depp

They kept the movie faithful

And kept all the songs

Where in the world could this movie go wrong?

Ah but there was a flaw you see

This Wonka didn't even have a goatee

They left out his bow tie

And green pants too

But at least they kept the girl whose gum she could chew

When we entered The Chocolate Room

It felt just like Oz

They thought they could do it just coz

They added a back story

It seemed quite hollow

An old dentist is something we couldn't swallow

But they kept to the story written in 64

They tried to make it so you wouldn't walk out the theatre door

But there's something in this adaptation that fills me with glee

They kept the book's original title

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!
