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
