The Lyrics
Did anyone ever think, while watching the movie "Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory" (which is still a classic in my opinion), that the Buckets' living situation was a little contrived? Perhaps a more realistic take is needed... (Mrs Bucket always looked like a secret alcoholic anyway)
Cheer up, Charlie,
Give me a shot,
What happened to that bottle of Merlot?
Don't you know that gin
Has always been my passion?
Let that passion flow...
Bums up, Charlie,
Gin isn't bad,
I drank a pint of this when I was four...
When I'd reached eleven
I could down a gallon
Then a gallon more...
Some day, sweet jaeger-bombs,
Brandy, and champagne will come along.
Till that day you’ve gotta drink what’s strong, Charlie;
Drunk on hops is not where you belong...
Look up Charlie,
The workhouse looms,
A life of working hard without the booze...
Pretty soon they're going to evict us, Charlie,
So drink up Charlie, do,
Drink up, Charlie,
Next we'll sniff some glue.
Give me a shot,

Don't you know that gin

When I'd reached eleven

Pretty soon they're going to evict us, Charlie,
So drink up Charlie, do,
Drink up, Charlie,
