I've got a Golden Ticket

I've Got A Golden Ticket is a song from the 1971 Charlie film and its adaption and the upcoming play.

1971 version
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

It's ours, Charlie!

(back to singing) 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

Charlie and Grandpa Joe: Good morning, 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

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

Grandpa Joe and Charlie: 'Cause I've got a golden ticket

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
