Songs and Lyrics

The Candy Man

Who can take a sunrise,
Sprinkle it with dew,
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two?

The Candy Man.
The Candy Man can.
The Candy Man can cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good.

Who can take a rainbow,
Wrap it in a sigh,
Soak it in the sun and make the strawberry lemon pie?

The Candy Man?
The Candy Man.
The Candy Man can.
The Candy Man can cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good.

Willy Wonka makes
Everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious.
Talk about your childhood wishes.
You can even eat the dishes.

Who can take tomorrow,
Dip it in a dream,
Separate the sorrow
And collect up all the cream?

The Candy Man.
Willy Wonka can.
The Candy Man can.
The Candy Man can cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good.
And the world tastes good
Cause the Candy Man thinks it should.

Cheer Up, Charlie

You get blue like everyone,
But me and Grandpa Joe can make your troubles go away,
Blow away.
There they go.
Cheer up Charlie.
Give me a smile.
What happened to that smile I used to know?
Don't you know your grin
Has always been
My sunshine?
Let that sunshine show.
Come on Charlie,
No need to frown,
Deep down you know the world is still your toy.
When the world gets heavy,
Never pitapat 'em,
Up and at 'em, boy.

Someday, sweet as a song,
Charlie's lucky day will come along.
Till that day you've gotta stay in strong, Charlie.
Up on top is right where you belong.

Look up Charlie,
You'll see a star.
Just follow it and keep your dream in view.
Pretty soon the sky is gonna clear up Charlie.
Cheer up Charlie do.
Cheer up Charlie.
Just be glad you're you.

(I've got a) Golden Ticket

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.

[Slippers Charlie]

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 have said it couldn't be done
But it can be done.

[Oh, the cane Charlie . . . ahha, ahha, ha ha
Here I go, ha ha
Watch my speed.]

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 the golden ticket it's a golden day.

[Good morning! Look at the sun!]

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

Pure Imagination

[Hold your breath.
Make a wish.
Count to three.]

Come with me,
And you'll be
In a world of pure imagination.
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination.

We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation.
What we'll see
Will defy -
Explanation.

If you want to view paradise,
Simply look around and view it.
Anything you want to, do it.
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it.

There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination.
Living there you'll be free
If you truly wish to be.

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it.
Anything you want to, do it.
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it.

There is no
Life I know
To compare with pure imagination.
Living there you'll be free
If you truly wish to be.

The Wonderous Boat Ride

There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going.
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing.
Is it raining?
Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a blowing?
Not a speck of light is showing,
So the danger must be growing.
Are the fires of hell a glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?
Yes! The danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing.
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing!
[screams]

 

I Want it Now

I want a feast
I want a bean feast,
Cream buns and doughnuts and fruitcake with no nuts so good you could go nuts.
No, now!
I want a ball.
I want a party.
Pink macaroons and a million balloons and performing baboons
and…give it to me…
Now!
I want the world
I want the whole world
I want to lock it all up in my pocket
It's my bar of chocolate
Give it to me now!

I want today
I want tomorrow
I want to wear'em like braids in my hair and I don't want to share 'em!!
I want a party with roomful's of laughter
Ten thousand tons of ice cream
And if I don't get the things I am after
I'm going to scream!!!!!!
I want the works.
I want the whole works.
Presents and prizes, and sweets and surprises of all shapes and sizes
And now!!
Don't care how I want it now.
Don't care how I want it -
NOW!!!!!

The Oompa Loompas

To Augustus:
Oompa Loompa, doompadee doo
We have a perfect puzzle for you.
Oompa Loompa, doompadee dee
If you are wise you will listen me.

What do you get when you guzzle down sweets,
Eating as much as an elephant eats?
What are you at getting terribly fat?
What do you think will come of that?
I don't like the look of it.

Oompa Loompa, doompadee dah
If you're not greedy you will go far.
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompadee do.
Doompadee do.

To Violet:
Oompa Loompa doompadee doo
I've got another puzzle for you.
Oompa Loompa doompadah dee
If you are wise you will listen to me.

Gum chewing's fine when it's once in a while.
It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile
But it's repulsive, revolting, and wrong,
Chewing and chewing all day long
The way that a cow does.

Oompa Loompa doompadee dah
Given good manners you will go far.
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompadee do.Oompa Loompa doompadee doo
I've got another puzzle for you.
Oompa Loompa doompadah dee
If you are wise you will listen to me.

To Veruca:
Oompa Loompa doompadee doo
I've got another puzzle for you.
Oompa Loompa doompadah dee
If you are wise you will listen to me.

Who do you blame when your kid is a brat,
Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat?
Blaming the kids is a lion of shame.
You know exactly who's to blame:
The mother and the father.

Oompa Loompa doompadee dah
If you're not spoiled then you will go far.
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompadee do.

To Mike:
Oompa Loompa doompadee doo
I've got another puzzle for you.
Oompa Loompa doompadah dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me.

What do you get from a glut of TV?
A pain in the neck and an I.Q. of three.
Why don't you try simply reading a book?
Or could you just not bear to look?

You'll get no
You'll get no
You'll get no
You'll get no
You'll get no commercials.

Oompa Loompa Doompadee Dah
If you're not greedy you will go far.
You will live in happiness too.
Like the
Oompa
Oompa Loompa doompadee do.
