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!
