[Intro]
I never thought my life could be anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see a bit of good luck for me
[Verse 1]
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye
Now, 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
[Refrain]
I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden sun up in the sky
[Verse 2]
Well, I never thought I'd see the day
When I would face the world and say
"Good morning, hey, look at the sun"
Oh, I never thought that I would be
A slap in the lap of luxury
'Cause I have said it couldn't be done
Yeah, 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
[Refrain]
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
Yeah, I've got a golden chance to make my way
And with the golden ticket, it's a golden day
[Bridge]
I want a golden goose
Gooses, guises
I want my guise to lay gold eggs for Easter
At least, a hundred a day
And by the way
I want a feast
I want a bean feast
Cream buns and doughnuts
And fruitcake with no nuts
So good you could go nuts
Give 'em to me now!
I want a ball, I want a party
Pink macaroons and a million balloons
And performing baboons, and
Give 'em to me now
I want the world
I want the whole world
I wanna lock it all up in my pocket
It's my bar of chocolate
Give it to me now!
[Outro]
I want a party with roomfuls of laughter
Ten thousand tons of ice cream
And if I don't get the things I am after
Well, I'm going to scream!
I want the works
I want the whole works
Presents and prizes and sweets
And surprises in all shapes and sizes
And now, don't care how
I want it now!
