Lyrics
I never thought this day would 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 Grandpa Joe How'd'ya know? That I'd be coming home today With something good, something gold Something special, that I can hold Grandpa Joe Just as you planned The final golden ticket's in my hand Grandpa Joe! We won! Oh, Charlie! Joe! Are you alright? He's white as a sheet! He can't speak! Grandpa Joe! Say something! Charlie, you and I We made something out of nothing You and me, Charlie We saw things that weren't there Charlie, you and I Wondered how but never why Yes, me and you, Charlie Charlie, you and I Wait a minute Joe, this ticket says, to go on the tour Charlie has to be accompanied by a responsible adult So? Well, I can't go with him, if I don't turn up for work Mrs. Walinsky is sure to fire me, and I can't afford to lose my job I'll take him But, Joe, you can't walk Couldn't walk! But that was before my call to arms! This is all the miracle my old legs needed 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 I've got a golden sun up in my sky I never thought I'd see the day When I would face the world and say, "Good morning" Look at the sun I never thought that I would be Slapping the lap of luxury 'Cause they'd have said "It shouldn't be done" Bring me my jacket But it can be done And my pants 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 we've got a golden ticket We've got a golden ticket We've got a golden chance to make our way And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day We never thought we'd see the day When we would face the world and say, "Good morning" Look at the sun I never thought that I would be Dancing about for all to see 'Cause they all thought I was better off dead But I got out of bed We'd never dreamed that we'd appear Over the moon in ecstasy But nevertheless, it's there that we're shortly about to be 'Cause we've got a golden ticket Oh, Charlie, your father would be so proud We've got a golden chance to make our way And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day
