Papa oompa oompa... Keep that candle burning bright, mother I'll be kinda late tonight, mother There's a yellow moon above, mother Shining on the one I love, mother Burn that candle, night and day Burn that candle, light my way Keep that doorway open wide Til I'm strolling through That doorway with my bride After we have had the wedding, mother To the candle we'll be heading, mother So before we're wining, dining, mother Start that candle light a shining, mother Burn that candle, night and day Burn that candle, light our way Keep that doorway open wide Til we're strolling through That doorway side by side (Side by side by side)
