\nJean’s my golden ticket<\/p>\n

I’ve Got a Golden Ticket<\/strong>
\nBy Roald Dahl<\/p>\n

I never thought my life could be
\nAnything but catastrophe
\nBut suddenly I begin to see
\nA bit of good luck for me<\/p>\n

‘Cause I’ve got a golden ticket
\nI’ve got a golden twinkle in my eye<\/p>\n

I never had a chance to shine
\nNever a happy song to sing
\nBut suddenly half the world is mine
\nWhat an amazing thing<\/p>\n

‘Cause I’ve got a golden ticket
\nIt’s ours, Charlie
\nI’ve got a golden sun up in the sky<\/p>\n

I never thought I’d see the day
\nWhen I would face the world and say
\nGood morning, look at the sun
\nI never thought that I would be
\nSlap in the lap of luxury’
\nCause I’d have said it couldn’t be done
\nBut it can be done<\/p>\n

I never dreamed that I would climb
\nOver the moon in ecstasy
\nBut nevertheless, it’s there that I’m
\nShortly about to be<\/p>\n

‘Cause I’ve got a golden ticket
\nI’ve got a golden chance to make my way
\nAnd with a golden ticket, it’s a golden day<\/p>\n

Good morning, look at the sun’
\nCause I’d have said it couldn’t be done
\nBut it can be done<\/p>\n

I never dreamed that I would climb
\nOver the moon in ecstasy
\nBut nevertheless, it’s there that I’m
\nShortly about to be<\/p>\n

‘Cause I’ve got a golden ticket’
\nCause I’ve got a golden ticket
\nI’ve got a golden chance to make my way
\nAnd with a golden ticket, it’s a golden day<\/p>\n
