Lyrics

[Intro]
Look at me
Look at me
Hopping about
I haven't done this in twenty years
[Intro]
Grandpa
[Verse 1]
I never thought my life could be
Anything but catastrophe
But suddenly, I begin to see
A bit of good luck for me
[Refrain]
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye
[Verse 2]
I never had a chance to shine, never a happy song to sing
But suddenly, half the world is mine, what an amazing thing
[Refrain]
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
It's ours, Charlie
I've got a golden sun up in the sky
Slippers, Charlie
[Bridge]
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
[Bridge]
It couldn't be done
[Bridge]
Oh, but it could be done
[Bridge]
Ooh, the cane, Charlie, ah, ah
Here I go
Watch my speed
[Verse 3]
I never dreamed that I would climb over the moon in ecstasy
But nevertheless, it's there that I'm shortly about to be
[Refrain]
'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
[Bridge]
Good morning, look at the sun
[Bridge]
'Cause I'd have said it couldn't be done
[Bridge]
But it can be done
[Verse 4]
I never dreamed that I would climb over the moon in ecstasy
But nevertheless, it's there that I'm shortly about to be
[Refrain]
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
[Outro]
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
