Charlie, You and I
[CHARLIE, spoken]
Please, Grandpa Joe! Please?
You know what sort of story I want
[GRANDPA JOE, spoken]
Oh, alright, Charlie
But- shh... We mustn't wake up your other grandparents!
(sung)
I'm an old, old man
With a tongue that can
Tell a different tale for every year
But when I ask this boy to say which story he'd enjoy
[GRANDPA JOE / CHARLIE]
Willy Wonka!
[GRANDPA JOE]
Is all I ever hear
I have fought world wars
Cycled ten grand tours
From the shores of Wales to Tripoli
But when I ask this tot to choose one story from the lot
[GRANDPA JOE / CHARLIE]
Willy Wonka!
[GRANDPA JOE]
Is what it's bound to be
Cause Charlie Bucket's an awful lot like me
Charlie, you and I, we make something out of nothing
Me and you, Charlie, we see things that aren't there
Charlie, you and I wonder how but never why
It's me and you, Charlie
Charlie, you and I
