Primus - Golden Ticket Lyrics






I never thought my life could be
Anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see
A bit of good luck for me

I never had a chance to shine
Never a happy song to sing
But suddenly half the world is mine
What an amazing thing

'Cause I got a golden ticket
Yeah, I got a golden ticket
And I got a golden ticket
Yeah, I got a golden ticket
Yeah, I got a golden twinkle
In my eye

I never thought my life could be
Anything but catastrophe
And suddenly I begin to see
A bit of good luck for me

I never had a chance to shine
Never a happy song to sing
But suddenly half the world is mine
What an amazing thing

'Cause I got a golden ticket
Yeah, I got a golden ticket
Oh, I got a golden ticket
Yeah, I got a golden ticket
Yeah, I got a golden twinkle
In my eye

I never thought I'd see the day
When I would face the world and say
"Good morning (good morning)
Look at the sun" (look at the sun)

I never thought that I would be
Slap in the lap of luxury
'Cause I'd have said
"It couldn't be done" but it can be done

Yeah, I got a golden ticket
Yeah, I got a golden ticket
And look at my golden ticket
I got me a golden ticket

Yeah, I got a golden chance
To make my way
And with the golden ticket
It's a golden day

Yeah
Come on
Ha ha
Give it to me, daddy

I never dreamed that I would climb
Over the moon in ecstasy
But nevertheless that's where I am
Shortly about to be

'Cause I got a golden ticket, ha ha
I got a golden ticket
I got me a golden ticket
I got a golden ticket

Oh, I got a golden ticket
I got a golden ticket
I got a golden ticket
I got a golden ticket

I got a golden ticket
I got a golden ticket
I got a golden ticket
I got a golden ticket

I got a golden chance to
Make my way
And with a golden ticket
It's a golden day

  6. T.... D....

    Primus is definitely its own genre lol.

  7. H.... 4....

    This sounded real good drunk camping at 3 am

  8. J.... G....

    Zappa wanna be?

  9. M.... T....

    Robot Chicken needs to make a Willy Wonka special and have *this* for the theme.

  10. A.... s....

    Seeing them live in may cant wait Ik I’m way to young only 14!! But primas is my all time favorite 🤘🤟

  11. M.... C....

    I bet this whole album would be an interesting and very fun mushroom trip. The weird little voice Les in the background would have me crying with laughter.

  12. J.... M....

    Why does this remind me of Oingo Boingo?

    J.... M....

    Joshua Messner the pedo song

  13. C.... ....

    I love this band

  14. A.... B....

    Les Claypool / Eric Clapton / Ginger Baker would be great

  15. D.... G....

    This is some funny shit holy fuck!!

  16. B.... N....

    Primus is great

  17. S.... F....

    I can't stop listening to this. There are no words to describe this...

    ..except...

    Primus Sucks

  18. I.... I....

    primus really does suck. they suck at sucking! Lmao!

  19. s.... T....

    Everyone putting Primus down for this obviously have no taste or idea what music is.

    s.... T....

    For those who don't know "primus sucks" is their motto. That's why you'll see so many people saying that.

  20. T.... G....

    copying willy wonka

    T.... G....

    +Lisa Barry Very perceptive of you

    T.... G....

    Mangle _Gamer356 __*_Well No Shit_*

  21. A.... L....

    Primus and the Dingleberry Factory.....this song is shit

  22. M.... G....

    is the plural of primus primii?

    M.... G....

    Primus is its own Plural, because it includes - us! (Yep, a joke. Though it works fairly well)!

    M.... G....

    Primus is its own Plural, because it includes 'us'. (Yep, a joke. Though it works well)!

  23. H.... H....

    In all seriousness, this song does Suck and is extremely annoying. I feel bad for the people who get stuck at a venue while tripping only to have this retarded song play.

    H.... H....

    Was at the venue, was tripping, Completely loved this song.

  24. T.... -....

    I find this song amusing

  25. E.... C....

    fuckin love this song

  26. t.... ....

    I know I'm too young to be a original Primus fan, but I enjoyed them and see them almost every time they've been in town. And I have to say, I find the whole "Primus Sucks" thing really annoying. I get the joke, but the band hasn't used the slogan for pretty much the last twenty years, yet every freakin obnoxious a-hole at the concerts all ways seem to have to yell it fifty freaking times. We get it already! The jokes over, instead we should give these seasoned musicians the actual respect and admiration they deserve.

    t.... ....

    I agree 100%

    t.... ....

    is this a copypasta yet

  27. I.... ....

    This is why you don't do drugs

    I.... ....

    +IchigoKurosaki/SubSoulReaper this is exactly why you *do* drugs.

    I.... ....

    +yurtpoh I take back my comment and agree with you now

    I.... ....

    @IchigoKurosaki/SubSoulReaper
    lol

  28. L.... H....

    It's about time Ler got the props that Les gets - he's just as essential to Primus' sound.

  29. C.... Q....

    holy fucking red rocks

  30. J.... S....

    Seeing this live is a completely different experience. I love this band.

  31. W.... C....

    This just makes me think anything Tim Burton. I think back to nightmare before Christmas and kinda wish primus did that soundtrack now. Not to knock MM though.

  32. 1.... ....

    Yes, it is copyright infringement, but you can always claim fair use.

  33. M.... P....

    Les Claypool is one of my favorite musicians in rock today. I really love these songs about willy wonka and the oompa loompas.

  34. t.... k....

    these guys are on soo many drugs lol but primus still sucks

    t.... k....

    My dad and his old friends are seeing them in April. They're thinking of starting a "Primus sucks" chant in the audience.

  35. B.... B....

    I like Primus but what is this...

    B.... B....

    Ben Bayle fukin art

  36. S.... ....

    This just made me smile.... Tim Burton needs to team up with Primus. Could you imagine Primus doing the score for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? I mean, that's essentially what this is, right?

  37. M.... a....

    Delightfully Bizarre and Creepy and Trippy. The Fungi Ensemble really adds character to the new Primus Sound. I got me a golden ticket:D

  38. J.... ....

    I think this is a great album. I can't stop listening to it. However much I love the other primus albums, I almost feel like this is the true sound of primus. Definitely evolved

  39. A.... S....

    I like Les's bass playing and the off beat/off the cuff tempo grooves. 

  40. T.... ....

    sounds cool and weird. I like it

  41. S.... ....

    Now after hearing the new Album a couple of times I love it!

  42. C.... B....

    Oh god forbid Primus decides to do something besides normal primus stuff. This album is fucking great, and Primus sucks just as good as they always have.

  43. T.... T....

    I'd like to throw in The Residents flavor this has too. Pure genius, pure imagination.
     

  44. S.... ....

    As a Primus fan, I can definitely say this album sucks. ;)

    S.... ....

    Frizzle Fry has better succ

    S.... ....

    all of their albums sucks! :)

    S.... ....

    pork soda has maximum suckage

  45. M.... ....

    Let me take another hit of acid...........
    Whooooooaaaaaaaaaa

  46. J.... M....

    poor stuff in that album

  47. P.... W....

    Primus blow!

  48. R.... ....

    Primus sucks!!

    R.... ....

    Primusville*

  49. L.... G....

    solo había visto el video con la fabrica de dulces que tiene un fragmento de la canción... ahora la canción completa¡¡ como me gusta Primus¡¡¡

  50. W.... F....

    I'm all about THAT bass.

  51. s.... ....

    Jim DeRogatis can teabag my fucking balls. Talentless wannabe.

  52. M.... B....

    You can easily hear how much Les was influenced by Danny Elfman & Frank Zappa...

    M.... B....

    @roar340 Zappa, King Crimson, Rush, Stanley Clarke, Pink Floyd...
    You have to admit that influences are excellent!

    M.... B....

    There's where the magic of Primus comes from.

    M.... B....

    This album has more of a resident feel to it

    M.... B....

    +roar340 I really want to like the residents but it's hard. On the other hand I love primus

    M.... B....

    +CatBot
    Have you heard 'The Commercial Album' by The Residents? It's beautiful.

  53. M.... ....

    This is so fuckin cool, I think my brain just came. 
    Anyone know anything else about this?!?! EDIT: So it would appear that Les/Primus has rocking faces off for about 30 years now. My god, nothing exfoliates like Ye Olde Primus. Seriously, how many bands from the 80s still do new stuff that doesn't suck (literally)? I'd venture to say not many. 

  54. M.... ....

    Primus sucks!

  55. g.... ....

    Amazing. Looking forward to the album on the 21st and seeing it performed live on the 22nd.

  56. c.... ....

    No edge at all....very boring.  Primus used to have more energy.

    c.... ....

    They can't all be zingers....

    c.... ....

    how heavy do you wanna make a classic child film/musical lol. don't care what anyone says this album is great i loved Willy Wonka and love Primus, drop some L and put this album on with some friends and you won't be disappointed :P

    c.... ....

    well to be fair it actually isnt primus, its primus with the frog brigade. so the dynamic of the band will a little differnt then classic primus. on top of that they are covering someone else s material and they want it to have a willy wonka vibe over a primus vibe.

    c.... ....

    @Strictly Rahmen im pretty sure the frog brigade was just during the tour. on the album its with the fungi ensemble. it says on the album cover which is shown on the video 

    c.... ....

    Your mom used to have more energy too. Also, she sucks. Your mom has a lot in common with Primus.

  57. G.... ....

    Primus Sucks!

    G.... ....

    @Sebastian Cipolla Do you even?

  58. T.... P....

    Oh fudge yes...

    T.... P....

    The Pariah I was going to correct you, but then I got the pun

  59. F.... ....

    Check out "LAST DAYS OF THE SUICIDE KID-THE WALK II"!!!

  60. S.... R....

    Quality shit!  Love it!

  61. S.... S....

    primus  sucks

    S.... S....

    fuckin A they suck ;)

    S.... S....

    Cail Ang Ok. Who's turn is it to explain? Mine? Alrighty.
    *grabs by shoulders*
    Let's walk a bit
    Now, at some point early on in the career of Primus, someone came up to Les and company, and said You guys are awesome. Les looked back at him and said, "Nah man, We Suck" This catchphrase was later made official on their first album, their live album Suck On This. "THANKS A LOT. WE'RE PRIMUS AND WE SUCK"
    You've probably learned this by now, but new fans need to learn the catchphrase.

    S.... S....

    fail lol

    S.... S....

    Earie Jake listened, for listening sake.

  62. c.... ....

    Thanks!

  63. D.... T....

    this is what youd hear if you died and went to hell and tim burton was satan

    D.... T....

    Hahahahaaha spot on !

    D.... T....

    David T.:Les Claypool is 1000% against the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp movie which in my opinion made Willie Wonka look like a crack addicted vampire who has seen too much light.

    D.... T....

    In that case, can someone kill me? Please?

    D.... T....

    these are inspired by the soundtrack from Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory made in 1971 not tim burtons charlie & the chocolate factory

    D.... T....

    i know, its just that primus' vibe musicsally is very berton-esque
