A Spoonful Of Sugar Lyrics

A Spoonful Of Sugar lyrics

Words and Music by Richard M. Sherman

                      and Robert B. Sherman





In ev`ry job that must be done, there is an element of fun.

You find the fun and snap the job`s a game.

And ev`ry task you undertake becomes a pice of cake.

A lark! A spree! It`s verry clear to see.



That a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

Medicine go dow-wown, medicine go down.

Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down

in the 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.



For a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

Medicine go dow-wown, medicine go down.

Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down

in the most delightful way.



The honey bees that fetch the nectar from the flowerto the comb

never tire 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.



For a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

Medicine go dow-wown, medicine go down.

Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down

in the most delightful way.
