What’d You Think I’d Do!? by Brigids_Hearth - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro — spoken]

Five little tickets in a world this wide

Never thought one would end up on my side

Then gold caught fire underneath that wrapper…

[Stop]

Oh, shit. [Spoken]

[Verse 1]

I held that ticket up against the light

Read every word about a dozen times

I know this story, I know what comes next

I’ve seen what happens when you fail the tests

But there I stood outside those factory gates

With common sense already running late

He tipped his hat, said, “Come along inside”

And every warning bell went quiet in my mind

[Pre-Chorus]

I promised I’d behave myself

Keep both hands where they belong

Then somebody opened up those doors…

Yeah, that promise didn’t last too long

[Chorus]

I found a Golden Ticket

And I know how this one ends

But if that river’s really chocolate

I’m going swimming, my friends

I’ll taste the flowers, lick the walls

Try everything I shouldn’t

You can tell me, “Don’t touch anything”

[Drop]

I heard you.

[Burst]

But I couldn’t.

I found a Golden Ticket

Better keep an eye on me

‘Cause Charlie might’ve passed the test

But that sure as hell ain’t me

[Verse 2]

Then every color I’d imagined came alive

Sugar trees and candy blooming five feet high

I took one bite, then two, then lost the plot

If everything was edible, why the hell not?

Then through the garden came that chocolate stream

The one I’d wanted since I was thirteen

Wonka said, “Please don’t—” but I’d kicked off my shoes

You built a chocolate river, what’d you think I’d do?

[Pre-Chorus]

I promised I’d behave myself

That promise had a fighting chance

Then someone said the walls taste just like fruit…

Well, now you’ve changed the circumstance

[Chorus — repeat]

[Verse 3]

Strawberry tasted strawberry

The snozzberries did too

I worked my way along that wall

Like any sane person would do

Then somebody mentioned fizzy drinks

That make you float up high

One little sip, my feet left Earth

I laughed until I wheezed

Then saw that fan above my head…

Okay.

How do I get DOWN, please?

[Bridge]

Somewhere down the hall I heard a honk

And saw those golden eggs roll one by one

I knew that room, I knew that scale

I knew EXACTLY how this ends

So naturally…

I stepped on it.

[Cold mechanical voice]

BAD EGG.

[Silence]

Well, that’s rude.

[CLANK]

WAIT— WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!

[Breakdown]

I tasted the garden

I licked the damn wall

I floated too high

Nearly died in the fall

I bothered the geese

Got judged by a scale

And somehow I’m STILL

On the factory trail!

[Final Chorus]

I FOUND A GOLDEN TICKET

And I know how this one ends

If that river’s really chocolate

I’m STILL going swimming, my friends

I’ll taste the flowers, lick the walls

Try everything I shouldn’t

You can tell me, “Don’t touch anything”

[Full stop]

I heard you!

[Explode]

BUT I COULDN’T!

I found a Golden Ticket

Better keep an eye on me

‘Cause Charlie might’ve passed the test

But that sure as hell ain’t me!

[Outro]

If I ever find another one

I’ll swear I’ve learned my lesson…

[Stop]

I’m lying.

[Spoken]

Can we go through again?
