A Spoonful of Sugar Lyrics
In every job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun, and… snap!
The job’s a game!
And every task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! A spree!
It’s very clear to see
That a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down, the medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
A robin feathering his nest
Has very little time to rest
While gathering his bits
Of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song
Will move the job along
Oh, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down, medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
The honey bees that fetch the nectar
From the flowers to the comb
Never tired of ever buzzing
To and fro
Because they take a little nip
From ev’ry flower that they sip
And hence, they find
Their task is not a grind…
Cheeky!
For a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down, medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
