Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hold your breath, make a wish
Count to three
[Verse 2]
Come with me, and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look, and you'll see
Into your imagination
[Verse 3]
Welcome aboard my great glass elevator
[Verse 4]
Wow!
[Verse 5]
Push that button
[Verse 6]
The one marked don't push?
[Verse 7]
That's the one
[Verse 8]
Something crazy is going to happen now, isn't it?
[Verse 9]
How did you guess?
[Verse 10]
We'll begin, with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
What you see, will defy
Explanation
[Verse 11]
Where are we going?
[Verse 12]
Up, up, up
[Verse 13]
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
[Verse 14]
Time to open your eyes
And take a look around
[Verse 15]
There is no life I know to compare
With pure imagination
Living here, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
[Verse 16]
Look Charlie, down there
My factory, do you see?
[Verse 17]
Yes, Mr. Wonka
[Verse 18]
I love my chocolate factory, Charlie
I love it more than anything else in the world
[Verse 19]
So do I Mr. Wonka, so do I
[Verse 20]
Well, I'm very glad you said that
I'm very glad indeed
You want to know why?
[Verse 21]
Why?
[Verse 22]
Because my chocolate factory is your special prize
[Verse 23]
But Mr. Wonka
Why would you want to give away your factory?
[Verse 24]
Oh, I'm an old man, Charlie
I'm a lot older than you think
I can't keep running my factory forever
I've got to give it to someone new
And that someone, Charlie, is you
[Verse 25]
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
[Verse 26]
There is no life I know to compare
With pure imagination
[Verse 27]
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
