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 eyeI 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 skyI 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
But it can be doneI 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
I've got a golden chance to make my way
And with a golden ticket, it's a golden dayGood morning, look at the sun'
Cause I'd have said it couldn't be done
But it can be doneI 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'
'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
