Hunker Party.
G 
C 
There's a little ditty they're
D 
singing in the city
G 
Especially when they've
C 
G 
been on the gin or the beer
C 
If you've got the patience,
D 
your own imagination
G 
Will tell you just exactly
C 
what you want to wear
G 
C 
Oompa -pa, oompa -pa,
D 
that's how it goes.
G 
Oompa -pa, oompa -pa,
C 
G 
everyone knows.
C 
They all suppose what they

want to suppose
G 
C 
when they hear oom -pa -pa.

C 
Mr Percy's Notgrass
D 
would often have the odd glass,
G 
but never when he thought
C 
G 
anybody could see.
C 
D 
secretly buy it and drink it on the
G 
quiet and dream he was an

Oh Papa, oh Papa, that's how it goes
G 
C 
G 
Oh Papa, oh Papa, everyone knows
C

what is the cause of his red shiny nose
G 
C 
Pretty little Sally goes
D 
walking down the alley
G 
Displays her pretty ankles
C 
G 
to all of the men
C 
And they can see her garters
D 
but not the fraying gratters
G 
An inch or two and then she
C 
knows when to say when
G 
C 
D 
Oh papa, oh papa, that's how it goes
G 
Oompa -pa, oompa -pa,
C 
G 
everyone knows
C 
Whether it's hidden or
D 
whether it's used
G 
C 
It's the same oompa -pa
She was from the country,
D 
but now she's off the country
G 
She let a fella feed her
C 
G 
and lead her along
C 
What seems to cryin',
D 
she made a better liin'
G 
She's glad to bring her coin in
C 
and join in this song
Oompa -pa, oompa -pa,
D 
that's how it goes
G 
Oompa -pa, oompa -pa,
C 
G 
everyone knows
C 
She's no longer the
D 
same blushing rose
G 
C 
Ever since oompa -pa
G 
C 
Oompa -pa, oompa -pa,
D 
that's how it goes
G 
Oompa -pah, oompa -pah,
C 
G 
everyone knows
C 
That I own the house,
D 
what I want has a cost
G 
When I am home
C 
Home, home
