Mrs. Bucket, the mother of the protagonist Charlie Bucket:
You get blue like everyone
But me and Grandpa Joe can make your troubles go away
Blow away, there they go
Cheer up, Charlie
Give me a smile
What happened to the smile I used to know?
Don't you know your grin has always been my sunshine?
Let that sunshine show
Come on, Charlie
No need to frown
Deep down you know the world is still your toy
When the world gets heavy never pitter pat'em
Up and at'em, boy
Some day, sweet as a song
Charlie's lucky day will come along
Till that day you've gotta stay strong, Charlie
Up on top is right where you belong
Look up, Charlie
You'll see a star
Just follow it and keep your dream in view
Pretty soon the sky is gonna clear up, Charlie
Cheer up, Charlie, do
Cheer up, Charlie
Just be glad you're you
