[CHARLIE, spoken]
Dear Mr. Wonka

(sung)
I know that you're a busy man
You must have lots of mail to read
I'm writing for my family 'cause there's nothing special that I need
The time you take to read this letter will be time will spent
Because I've made a list of things you might want to invent

[MRS. BUCKET]
How's your homework?

[CHARLIE]
Almost done

[MRS. BUCKET]
That's my Charlie, that's my son

[CHARLIE]
For mom who's always on her feet
You might please grant me this one wish
To keep her shoes attached to her
Some laces made from licorice

For Josephina, I have drawn a recipe beneath
For molars made of marzipan
When she can't find her teeth
[MRS. BUCKET]
Have you scrubbed up?

[CHARLIE]
Yes, I did

[MRS. BUCKET]
That's my Charlie, that's my kid

[CHARLIE]
When I was smaller than I am
My dad he took us to the sea
He bought my mom an ice cream
She was happy as a mom can be
For her I would invent an ice cream that would never melt
So she could feel all day the way
I wish she always felt

For Grandpa George and his Georgina
Something not in any store
Some pillows made from marshmallows
To keep the noise down when they snore

For Grandpa Joe, who soon is turning
Ninety and one half
A joke book made from jellybeans
'Cause he just loves to laugh
[GRANDPARENTS]
Off to bed now

[CHARLIE]
Counting sheep

[GRANDPARENTS]
Hope we don't die in our sleep

[CHARLIE]
I think I thought of everything
For you to add your special touch
And when these things are all complete
If it's not asking far too much
Please drop them off yourself so we can ask ya, "How'd ya do?"
And, well, I'd like one Wonka bar
That I would share with you
Signed, Charlie Bucket

[GRANDPARENTS]
Goodnight, Charlie Bucket

[CHARLIE]
Signed, Charlie Bucket, inventor!
