Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Willy Wonka! Willy Wonka!
My Grandpa Joe says Willy Wonka's
The greatest chocolatier who ever lived
So, what happened to him?
You run a candy shop, do you really not know any of this?
How can a man who sells chocolate
Not know all the history? I don't understand
How can a man who sells chocolate
Not know of the mystery, I hold in my hand?
Willy Wonka!
Willy Wonka!
Willy Wonka made sweets, most delectable treats
Willy Wonka, was the best of the best
If the subject is Wonka, it's true, I'm obsessed!
Well, what does he look like?
Now? He must be like a thousand years old!
He probably has a hump!
But my Grandpa Joe sings of treats
Beyond words, desired by old and by young
Like eggs made of chocolate that turned into birds!
Who perched and sang tunes on your tongue!
Willy Wonka!
Willy Wonka!
Willy Wonka was known from Brazil to Colonge
Willy Wonka!
Lived his life to create!
And if I could afford him, I'd be overweight
What happened next?
He died
What?
Commercially, he died
Well, that's hardly the same thing
You see, Wonka found out that to his sad surprise
The workers he cherished turned out to be spies!
They copied his recipes, spoiled his art
They sold all his secrets and worse they broke his heart
Willy Wonka turned his back on the world
He shut up shop and he locked his factory
They say he hates all humanity
Nobody thinks to knock?
Maybe give the guy a call?
Well, it's a factory with no workers
But somehow he stills make chocolate
How does he do it?
Nobody ever goes in and nobody ever goes out
It's one of the great mysteries of the chocolate making world
Well, who cares how the stuff's made as long as kids buy it
Oh no, only old people buy his chocolate now
What?
Wonka's old-fashioned
He's out of date, he's not even advertised on TV
Huh, imagine
And so it's been decades and Wonka's grown old
Like I told you, it's like he was dead
Then I saw this shop, and then lo and behold
The explosion you heard was my head
Willy Wonka!
Willy Wonka!
Oh, the joy since I've learned his chocolate's returned
Now I'm wishing on my dad's lucky star
To someday be able to buy one bar!
