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
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
‘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
