Jack Albertson - (I've Got A) Golden Ticket Lyrics

[Grandpa Joe]
Look at me
Look at me
Hopping about
I haven't done this in twenty years

[Charlie]
Grandpa

[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
I've got a golden sun up in the sky
Slippers, Charlie

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 could be done

Ooh, the cane, Charlie, ah, ah
Here I go
Watch my speed

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 & 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]
Good morning, look at the sun

[Grandpa Joe & Charlie]
'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 & Charlie]
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
