Candy Man
Who can take a sunrise
Sprinkle it with dew
Cover it in chocolate
Or 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
He makes the world taste good
Who can take a rainbow
Wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun
And make groovy lemon pie?
The candy man
The candy man can
The candy man
Oh the candy man can
The candy man can 'cause he mixes it with love
He makes the world taste good
He makes the world taste good
He makes the world taste pretty dang good, ha ha
Oh the candy man 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 can 'cause he mixes it with love

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
Tomorrow is your toy
When days get heavy
Never pitter-patter
Up and at 'em boy
Up and at 'em boy
Someday, sweet as a song
Charlie's lucky day will come along
Till that day you've got to stay strong, Charlie
Up on top is right where you belong
Look up Charlie
You'll see a star
Just follow it
And keep your dreams in view
Pretty soon the sky
Is going to clear up, Charlie
Cheer up Charlie do
Cheer up Charlie do
Cheer up Charlie do
Just be glad you're you
Cheer up Charlie
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
Tomorrow is your toy
When days get heavy
Never pitter-patter
Up and at 'em boy
Up and at 'em boy
Someday, sweet as a song
Charlie's lucky day will come along
Till that day you've got to stay strong, Charlie
Up on top is right where you belong
Look up Charlie
You'll see a star
Just follow it
And keep your dreams in view
Pretty soon the sky
Is going to clear up, Charlie
Cheer up Charlie do
Cheer up Charlie do

Just be glad you're you
Cheer up Charlie

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
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
Good morning, look at the sun'
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'
'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
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

Pure Imagination
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
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

Oompa Loompa
Doompa-dee-do
I've got a perfect
Puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa
Doompa-dee-dee
If you are wise
You'll listen to 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
Doompa-dee-da
If you're not greedy
You will go far
You will live in
Happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa
Doompa-dee-do

Semi-Wondrous Boat Ride
Around the world and home again
That's the sailor's way
(Faster, faster)
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
Stop the boat
We're here
That's the sailor's way
(Faster, faster)
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
Stop the boat
We're here

I've got another
Puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa
Doompa-dee-dee
If you are wise
You'll 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
Doompa-dee-da
Given good manners
You will go far
You will live in
Happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa

I Want It Now
Gooses, geeses
I want my geese to lay gold eggs for easter
At least a hundred a day
And by the way
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 roomfuls 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
I want my geese to lay gold eggs for easter
At least a hundred a day
And by the way
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 roomfuls 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

Don't care how, I want it now

Oompa Loompa
Doompa-dee-dee
If you are wise
You'll 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 lie and a shame
You know exactly
Who's to blame
The mother and the father

If you're not spoiled
You will go far
You will live in

Puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa
Doompa-dee-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 IQ 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
