[00:00.196]CHARLIE: Grandpa Joe, how d’ja know
[00:04.352]That I’d be coming home today
[00:08.725]With something good, something gold
[00:13.096]Something special that I can hold
[00:17.197]Mr. Wonka, how d’ja do?
[00:21.324]Tomorrow morning I’ll be seeing you!
[00:27.822]GRANDPA JOE, spoken: Charlie… what is it?
[00:29.852]CHARLIE, spoken: Grandpa Joe… we won!
[00:37.334]GRANDPA JOE: Charlie, get my uniform from high upon the shelf
[00:44.633]And dust off all the years since it’s been worn
[00:50.020]I admit for quite a while
[00:51.820]I haven’t been me self
[00:54.663]But spread the news!
[00:56.457]A new Joe has been born
[00:59.875]The Bucket Family: (gasp)
[01:01.702]GRANDPA JOE: Though I haven’t walked in years
[01:05.333]Change my oil and check my gears
[01:08.198]Give my hair a clip and whip my shaving cream
[01:13.914]But don’t, don’t
[01:15.995]Don'cha pinch me, Charlie
[01:19.386]I don’t wanna wake up from this golden dream
[01:23.827]GRANDMA JOSEPHINE, spoken: Joe! What are you doing?
[01:25.885]GRANDPA JOE, spoken: We are going to visit a chocolate factory!
[01:28.494]GRANDPA GEORGE, spoken: But, Joe, you can’t walk!
[01:30.571]GRANDPA JOE, spoken: Walk? I could run a four minute mile. Just like I did in the ’48 Olympics.
[01:36.427](sung) Josephina, get the thread and needle from the kit
[01:40.020]I’m sure the moths have had a woolly chew
[01:44.622]And you won’t have to “alterate” me trousers will still fit
[01:48.470]Cause I haven’t et since I was 22
[01:52.661]While your mother starts to dress me
[01:54.747]And your dad can iron and press me
[01:56.831]Press the pedal to the kettle for the steam
[02:01.006]But don’t, don’t
[02:02.576]Don'cha pinch me, Charlie
[02:05.163]I don’t wanna wake up from this golden dream
[02:08.803]GRANDMA JOSEPHINE, spoken: It’s a miracle!
[02:09.830]GRANDPA GEORGE, spoken: It’s an accident waiting to happen.
[02:11.397]GRANDPA JOE: Oh, Charlie, if I’m sleepin’
[02:13.489]Let my dreaming heart keep leapin’
[02:15.561]Cause the cabbage-y days have gone without a trace (ALL: Woah!)
[02:19.722]GRANDPA JOE: And if I never waken
[02:21.565]What a trip I will have taken
[02:23.914]You can bury me with a smile upon my face
[02:27.815]Woah! Charlie, get my dancing shoes from out the Pullman trunk
[02:31.748]And get ready for the Bucket buck-and-wing (ALL: Joe!)
[02:35.955]I don’t need a pint of whiskey
[02:38.226]Cause I already feel drunk
[02:40.056]You’re intoxicating as the first of spring
[02:43.983]Yes, I’m creaky and I’m olden
[02:46.068]But your ticket, oh, so golden
[02:48.179]‘S’got me floatin’ like I’m boatin’ down the stream
[02:52.347]But don’t, don’t
[02:53.917]Don'cha pinch me, Charlie
[02:58.080]I don’t wanna wake up from this golden dream
[03:03.829](spoken) Come on, Josephine, George, Georgina! Get up, get out of bed… We’re not going to take this lying down!
[03:11.578]GRANDMA JOSEPHINE: Tell those bluebirds down in Dover
[03:13.915]Empty bucket days are over
[03:15.968]GRANDPA GEORGE: We’ll have no more cabbage suppers
[03:18.008]Now I’ll have to wear me uppers
[03:20.098]MRS. BUCKET: While the whole world travels steerage
[03:22.170]MR. BUCKET: We’ll be listed in Burke’s Peerage
[03:24.279]GRANDMA GEORGINA: Well, the first thing we should do is to down a pint or two!
[03:28.162]GRANDPA JOE: From underneath me fallen arches
[03:30.247]I’ll lead military marches
[03:32.341]MR. BUCKET: With our luck we’ll play the horses
[03:34.339]GRANDPA GEORGE: We can even get divorces!
[03:36.413]MRS. BUCKET: We’ll be royal!
[03:37.435]CHARLIE: We’ll be posh!
[03:38.503]GRANDMA GEORGINA: Does that mean I’ll have to wash?
[03:40.355]GRANDPA JOE: A little travelling music please
[03:42.431]THE BUCKET FAMILY: I’m surprised we still have knees!
[03:45.373]JERRY: Cherry, where are you?
[03:46.434]CHERRY: Jerry, I’m in a shack, where unlikely urchin Charlie Bucket has won the very last Golden Ticket. Charlie, how do you feel?
[03:54.160]CHARLIE: Oh, when the sun came out today
[03:56.248]My life was still the same
[03:58.324]I picked the same old rubbish after school
[04:02.254]Then suddenly a chocolate bar
[04:04.063]Was calling out my name
[04:06.156]And showing me the Wonka golden rule
[04:09.799]I never flew a kite that flies
[04:11.875]Never ever won a prize
[04:13.917]Was always sick when they would pick the winning team
[04:18.067]But don’t, don’t don'cha pinch your… ALL: Charlie!
[04:21.986]CHARLIE: I don’t wanna wake up from this golden dream
[04:25.621](spoken) Take it away, Grandpa Joe!
[04:27.981]GRANDPA JOE: Well, I was always certain
[04:29.801]That my luck would never change
[04:32.144]I lost the will to ever leave me bed (GRANDPARENTS: Ever leave our bed)
[04:35.529]All my four leaf clovers wilted
[04:37.836]And my rabbit’s foot had mange (THE BUCKET FAMILY: Mange)
[04:39.924]The genie in the bottle turned up dead (THE BUCKET FAMILY: Quite dead)
[04:43.791]GRANDPARENTS: Seemed like nobody could hear us
[04:45.608]No parade would ever cheer us
[04:47.715]GRANDPA JOE: Ah, but major luck now plays our Bucket theme (THE BUCKET FAMILY: Ba ba ba ba!
[04:51.765]So don’t, don’t don'cha pinch me, Charlie
[04:55.676]I don’t wanna wake up from this golden dream
[04:59.576]THE BUCKET FAMILY: Yes, we’re feeling optimistic
[05:01.654]Though a touch somnambulistic
[05:03.461]Please don’t startle us 'cause we must be in a trance
[05:07.369]It’s so dreamy that we hope ya
[05:09.456]Someday visit our utop’ya
[05:11.474]Why just walk in your sleep
[05:12.498]When you can sing and dance
[05:16.857]Go on, Charlie!
[05:31.100]GRANDPA JOE: With both me feet back on the floor
[05:32.925]It’s like the day we won the war
[05:35.009]And the victory is all because of you
[05:39.178]THE BUCKET FAMILY: So now hip, hip, hip hooray for
[05:41.508]Hip, hip, hip hooray for
[05:43.581]GRANDPA JOE: Hip, hip, hip hooray for
[05:46.635]THE BUCKET FAMILY: Charlie-

[05:59.409]ALL: Hip! Hip!
