Grandpa Joe:

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



[Spoken]

It's ours, Charlie!



[Sung]

I've got a golden sun up in the 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

Slap in the lap of luxury

'Cause I'd have said:



Charlie:

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



Grandpa Joe and Charlie:

'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:

[Spoken]

Good morning, look at the sun!



Grandpa Joe and Charlie:

[Sung]

'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



Grandpa Joe and Charlie:

'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
