News of Veruca / When Veruca Says Lyrics > Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

JERRY
Breaking news! A second golden ticket has been found. And here to tell us all about it, is our mistress of all matters Wonka, Cherry Sundae. Cherry, where are you?

CHERRY SUNDAE
Jerry, I'm in England! Our winner is twelve, she likes ballet, she's the daughter of a peanut billionaire, and her name is Veruca Salt. Mr. Salt, tell all!

MR SALT
As soon as Mr. Wonka made his announcement, my Veruca expressed her very keen interest in the competition.

VERUCA SALT
I want a ticket NOW!




MR SALT
How could I possibly refuse?
When Veruca says

VERUCA SALT
More!

MR SALT
I buy another store
And when Veruca says

VERUCA SALT
Now!

MR SALT
The sweat forms on my brow
And when Veruca says

VERUCA SALT
Again!

MR SALT
No matter where or when
We'd better all count out and

VERUCA SALT
More! Now! Again!

MR SALT
When Veruca says

VERUCA SALT
Out!

MR SALT
There is no reasonable doubt
And when Veruca says

VERUCA SALT
Fetch!

MR SALT
There is no time to kvetch
And when Veruca says

VERUCA SALT
Array!

MR SALT
You'd better find a way
To make your dollar stretch for

VERUCA SALT
Out! Fetch! Array!

MR SALT
So when she heard of Wonka's prize
She started to attack
So I told my peanut shellers
Here's a tougher nut to crack
You've each a thousand Wonka bars
Start shelling them at once
For when Veruca's happy
It's much better for her pappy.

For forty days and forty nights
The ladies tried to pick it
And always to the music of

VERUCA SALT
I want a golden ticket!
I want a golden ticket!

MR SALT
And then a girl cried out
And in her hand a panacea
A golden ticket on display
And what did sweet Veruca say?

VERUCA SALT
Daddy

MR SALT
Yes?

VERUCA SALT
Buy me North Korea!

MR SALT
When Veruca says

VERUCA SALT
Buy!

MR SALT
It's like a battle cry
And when Veruca says

VERUCA SALT
Mine!

MR SALT
Well, I've jelly for a spine
And if Veruca said

VERUCA SALT
Please?

MR SALT
I'd know it was a tease before her

VERUCA SALT (Overlapping)
More! Now! Out! Mine! Fetch! Buy!

MR SALT (Overlapping)
Uh- And- Uh- Uh- Uh-

MR SALT
And when she finally falls asleep
We pray and say 'Amen'
'Till tomorrow when it all begins

VERUCA SALT
Again!

MR SALT
Again!
