'Cause I've got a Golden Ticket!
Yes, a lyric from 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. I've been singing that line for a bit. And others. I really want the soundtrack and the mp3's. Maybe I'll do a little check around for them. For a revisiting to childhood.
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
I loved the book of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. The sequel was less entrancing. Roahl Dahl is amazing. I had all the books I think. I had my students read one of his adult short stories. Even that was facinating. He amazes me. I was checking in one of his childrens books of short stories and nearly started reading it the other day.
I want a party with roomfuls of laughter, Ten thousand tons of ice cream
When I was a kid, my parents requested that the movie store buy the movie 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. I rented it every other weekend. Along with 'Babes in Toyland' and a few others. We made it worth their while. I don't think that many other people rented it. I however, rented it, sang it - lived it. I have always had a big imagination. I wanted to take the glass elevator. I bought the candy and pretended.
'Cause I've got a Golden Ticket.....
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
Trav'ling in the world of my creation
What we'll see will defy
Explanation
{Refrain}
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
{Refrain}
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
