Lyrics

Willy Wonka Willy Wonka Won't you help me please I'm afraid that I might fall For my eyes and knees Have grown frail behind this wall Let me come to you Though it appears I've lost my pep But as the ancient relic read In the Tao of Ching it's said A journey of a thousand miles Begins with just one step Beyond this door's a Factory Begat from just a bean Beyond this door Surprises in store But it must be believed to be seen Beyond this door's invention Where mind meets with machine Beyond these gates Astonishment waits But it must be believed to be seen No magic spells or potions Forswear legerdemain My kingdom's created from notions All swelling inside of my brain Beyond this door's a banquet Of Wonka made cuisine A lucky few Will get to pas through But it must be believed to be seen Beyond this door is music Come dance betwixt and between Beyond this waltz Is a world without faults But it must be believed to be seen Beyond this door's a puzzle You'll find out what I mean Beyond this gate Is the world I create But it must be believed to be seen Despite the man seen at these doors My childhood home was bland like yours But I knew how to look to find A world that wasn't colour-blind Let's hope that you're a bit like me As you walk through my factory For in the end there's quite a prize If you can see with more than eyes Golden ticket winners! Gloop, Teavee, Beauregarde, Salt... Bucket! Your life's about to change now So don't get left behind Do things appear quite strange now? Imagine the wonders you'll find Beyond this door is chocolate So tasty, It's obscene! So follow me For I guarantee That this world I've conceived And all I've achieved But it must be believed To be seen Do come in
