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
