I never thought my life could be..
...anything but catastrophe,
but suddenly I begin to see,
a bit of good luck for me.
'cause I've got a golden ticket,
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye.
I never had a chance to shine,
never a happy song to sing,
but suddenly half the world is mine,
what an amazing thing.
'cause I've got a golden ticket,
“it's ours, Charlie!”
I've got a golden sun up in the sky,
“slippers, Charlie!”
I never thought I'd see the day,
when I would face the world and say.
Charlie and grandpa Joe:
"good morning! and look at the sun!"
Grandpa Joe:
I never thought that I would be,
slap in the lap of luxury,
'cause I'd have said.
Charlie:
"It couldn't be done!"
Grandpa Joe:
But it can be done!
“Oooh! The cane, Charlie! Ah Ahhh! (he laughs.) Here I go! Watch my speed!
Grandpa Joe:
I never dreamed that I would climb,
over the moon in ecstasy,
but nevertheless it's there that I'm,
shortly about to be.
Charlie and Grandpa Joe:
'cause I've got a golden ticket,
I've got a golden chance to make my way,
and with a golden ticket it's a golden day
Grandpa Joe:
Good morning! Look at the sun!
Charlie and Grandpa Joe:
'cause I'd have said, "it couldn't be done"
Grandpa Joe:
But it can be done!
I never dreamed that I would climb
over the moon in ecstasy
but nevertheless it's there that I'm
shortly about to be,
'cause I've got a golden ticket
Charlie and Grandpa Joe:
I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden chance to make my way
and with a golden ticket it's a golden day.
