I've Got A Golden Ticket / Grandpa Joe

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
