CATCF - I've Got A Golden Ticket / Grandpa Joe [Lyrics]

[sethstrattan]

I would want a mix of this with don’t pintch me Charlie. The opening will be the same but grandpa Joe will sing don’t pintch me Charlie. Then when the news reporter come in, charlie will sing part of don’t pintch me before I’ve got a golden ticket will play out the rest of the number.

~MY VERSION~

[CHARLIE]
I never thought this day would 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

Grandpa Joe
How'd'ya know?
That I'd be coming home today
With something good, something gold
Something special, that I can hold
Mr. Wonka, how d’ja do?
Tomorrow morning I’ll be seeing you!

[CHARLIE, spoken]
Grandpa Joe!

[MRS BUCKET, spoken]
Joe! Are you alright?

[GRANDMA, spoken]
He's white as a sheet!

[MRS BUCKET, spoken]
He can't speak!

[CHARLIE, spoken]
Grandpa Joe! Say something!

[GRANDPA JOE]
Charlie, you and I
We made something out of nothing
You and me, Charlie
We saw things that weren't there
Charlie, you and I
Wondered how but never why
Yes, me and you, Charlie
Charlie, you and I

[MRS BUCKET, spoken]
Wait a minute, Joe. This ticket says, to go on the tour
Charlie has to be accompanied by a responsible adult

[GRANDPA JOE, spoken]
So?

[MRS BUCKET, spoken]
Well, I can't go with him. If I don't turn up for work
Mrs Walinsky is sure to fire me, and I can't afford to lose my job

[GRANDPA JOE, spoken]
I'll take him!

[MRS BUCKET, spoken]
But, Joe, you can't walk

[GRANDPA JOE, spoken]
Couldn't walk! But that was before my call to arms!
This is all the miracle my old legs needed

(sung)
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
I've got a golden sun up in my 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
Slapping the lap of luxury
'Cus they'd have said

[GRANDPARENTS]
"It shouldn't be done!"

[GRANDPA JOE, spoken]
Bring me my jacket!

[CHARLIE]
But it can be done!

[GRANDPA JOE, spoken]
And my pants

[GRANDPA JOE]
I never dreamed
That I would climb
Over the moon in ecstasy
But nevertheless, it's there that I'm
Shortly about to be

[CHARLIE & GRANDPA JOE]
'Cause we've got a golden ticket!

[GRANDPARENTS]
We've got a golden ticket!

[CHARLIE & GRANDPA JOE]
We've got a golden chance to make our way!
And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day!

(spoken)
Come on, Josephine, George, Georgina
Get up, get out of bed…
We’re not going to take this lying down!

[GRANDMA JOSEPHINE]
Tell those bluebirds down in Dover
Empty bucket days are over

[GRANDPA GEORGE]
We’ll have no more cabbage suppers
Now I’ll have to wear me uppers

[MRS. BUCKET]
While the whole world travels steerage
We’ll be listed in Burke’s Peerage

[GRANDMA GEORGINA]
Well, the first thing we should do
Is to down a pint or two!

[GRANDPA JOE]
From underneath me fallen arches
I’ll lead military marches

[MRS. BUCKET]
With our luck we’ll play the horses

[GRANDPA GEORGE]
We can even get divorces!

[MRS. BUCKET]
We’ll be royal!

[CHARLIE]
We’ll be posh!

[GRANDMA GEORGINA]
Does that mean I’ll have to wash?

[GRANDPA JOE]
A little travelling music please

[GRANDPARENTS]
I’m surprised we still have knees!
Boy, what a day to be alive!
Now golden ticket number five
Is right here!

[GRANDPA JOE]
Shining golden, not red!
I never thought that I would be
Dancing about for all to see
'Cause they all thought
I was better off dead
But I got out of bed!

[CHARLIE & GRANDPA JOE]
We'd never ever dare to dream
That there would be a golden time
When, bang! in a glorious golden beam
Our lives would become sublime!
'Cause we've got a golden ticket!

[MRS BUCKET, spoken]
Oh, Charlie, your father would be so proud!

[CHARLIE & GRANDPA JOE]
We've got a golden chance to make our way!

[ALL]
And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day!

[musicaltheatrefank]

They should’ve put in an extra part from Don’cha Pinch Me Charlie. Josephine, George, Georgina, get out of bed! We can’t take this lying down…
