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
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
I've got a golden chance to make my way
And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day

Good morning, look at the sun
'Cause I'd have said, it couldn't be done
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
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
