[CHARLIE] 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! [CHARLIE, spoken] Grandpa Joe! [MRS BUCKET, spoken] Joe! Are you alright? [GRANDMA, spoken] He's white as a sheet! [MRS BUCKET, spoken] He can't speak! [CHARLIE, spoken] Grandpa Joe! Say something! [GRANDPA JOE] 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 [MRS BUCKET, spoken] Wait a minute, Joe. This ticket says, to go on the tour Charlie has to be accompanied by a responsible adult [GRANDPA JOE, spoken] So? [MRS BUCKET, spoken] 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 [GRANDPA JOE, spoken] I'll take him! [MRS BUCKET, spoken] But, Joe, you can't walk [GRANDPA JOE, spoken] Couldn't walk! But that was before my call to arms! This is all the miracle my old legs needed (sung) 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 'Cus they'd have said [GRANDPARENTS] "It shouldn't be done!" [GRANDPA JOE, spoken] Bring me my jacket! [CHARLIE] But it can be done! [GRANDPA JOE, spoken] And my pants [GRANDPA JOE] 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 & GRANDPA JOE] 'Cause we've got a golden ticket! [GRANDPARENTS] We've got a golden ticket! [CHARLIE & GRANDPA JOE] We've got a golden chance to make our way! And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day! [GRANDPARENTS] We never thought we'd see the day When we would face the world and say "Good morning!" Look at the sun! [GRANDPA JOE] 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! [CHARLIE & GRANDPA JOE] 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! [MRS BUCKET, spoken] Oh, Charlie, your father would be so proud! [CHARLIE & GRANDPA JOE] We've got a golden chance to make our way! [ALL] And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day!
