I've Got A Golden Ticket

'I've Got A Golden Ticket' is a song by Jack Albertson and Peter Ostrum. It is the song that Grandpa Joe sings when Charlie finds the golden ticket. Here are all of the lyrics:

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

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:

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 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 and 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 and 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
