Charlie, You & I

Please, Grandpa Joe, please

You know what sort of story I want

A-all right, Charlie, but shh

We mustn't wake up your other grandparents

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

Willy Wonka!! 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

Willy Wonka! 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's you and I
