| The great big greedy nincompoop | A |
| How long could we allow this beast | B |
| To gorge and guzzle feed and feast | B |
| On everything he wanted to | C |
| Great Scott It simply wouldn't do | C |
| However long this pig might live | D |
| We're positive he'd never give | E |
| Even the smallest bit of fun | F |
| Or happiness to anyone | F |
| So what we do in cases such | G |
| As this we use the gentle touch | G |
| And carefully we take the brat | H |
| And turn him into something that | H |
| Will give great pleasure to us all | I |
| A doll for instance or a ball | I |
| Or marbles or a rocking horse | J |
| But this revolting boy of course | J |
| Was so unutterably vile | K |
| So greedy foul and infantile | L |
| He left a most disgusting taste | M |
| Inside our mouths and so in haste | M |
| We chose a thing that come what may | N |
| Would take the nasty taste away | N |
| 'Come on ' we cried 'The time is ripe | A |
| To send him shooting up the pipe | A |
| He has to go It has to be ' | O |
| And very soon he's going to see | P |
| Inside the room to which he's gone | Q |
| Some funny things are going on | R |
| But don't dear children be alarmed | S |
| Augustus Gloop will not be harmed | S |
| Although of course we must admit | T |
| He will be altered quite a bit | T |
| He'll be quite changed from what he's been | U |
| When he goes through the fudge machine | V |
| Slowly the wheels go round and round | W |
| The cogs begin to grind and pound | W |
| A hundred knives go slice slice slice | X |
| We add some sugar cream and spice | X |
| We boil him for a minute more | Y |
| Until we're absolutely sure | Z |
| That all the greed and all the gall | I |
| Is boiled away for once and all | I |
| Then out he comes And now By grace | A2 |
| A miracle has taken place | A2 |
| This boy who only just before | Y |
| Was loathed by men from shore to shore | Y |
| This greedy brute this louse's ear | B2 |
| Is loved by people everywhere | C2 |
| For who could hate or bear a grudge | D2 |
| Against a luscious bit of fudge ' | O |
