Do you all think Mr. Willy Wonka wrote all those lyrics the sang in the entire 2005 movie?

Yes, even “Wonka’s Welcome Song”. He didn’t only scheme his own tour’s events, but composed the songs in advance.

Charlie: Mr. Wonka?

Wonka: Huh?

Charlie: Why would Augustus’ name already be in the Oompa Loompa’s song? Unless they–

Wonka: Improvisation is a parlour trick.☺️ Anyone can do it.

Reading all the lyrics to each of the songs, it’s so easy to imagine Willy saying them himself. It’s so natural. The lines “best darn guy who ever lived” (yes, I believe he believes that about himself), “don’t dear children be alarmed”, “little Mike Teavee” and “dear old Mum” convince me so... Surely, the man’s got some musical and/or some sort of scripting ability in there somewhere.

Either this, or the Oompa Loompa’s have adapted Willy’s lingo.
