Willy Wonka



There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing

music and lyrics by
Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley

great job! it really looks like him. He will always be the real Willy Wonka...while I love Johnny Depp, he just didn't cut it for me!
