I've Got A Golden Ticket / Grandpa Joe

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
