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)
