Veruca's Nutcracker Sweet

Lyrics: Scott Wittman/Marc Shaiman Music: Marc Shaiman Squirrels: Veruca Salt The debutant She's always screaming, "I want, I want!" Do you think her Jetés will still look cute As she Pas de Bourrées down the bad nut chute Veruca Salt The selfish tot Was never good with the things she got But it's not just vicious Veruca's fault This rancid recipe demands another dash of salt! Blame her nut-job of a father For he grovelled at her feet Now he'll see us break her backbone In our bad nut-cracker sweet Let's nuke-a Veruca! Oompa Loompa doo pa dee do Hey! Hey! Hey! Oompa Loompa doo pa dee day Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Veruca, screamed: DADDY! DADDY! Mr Salt, spoken: Veruscha! Papa's coming! Veruscha!! Squirrels: Veruca Salt Was once en pointe But watch as we dislocate each joint Her ballet career is looking grim As we tear her apart from limb to limb! Aaahhh! Bad nut!
