  • 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-wown
    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 - for

    A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
    The medicine go down-wown
    The medicine go down
    Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
    In a most delightful way


    The honey bee that fetch the nectar
    From the flowers to the comb
    Never tire of ever buzzing to and fro
    Because they take a little nip
    From every flower that they sip
    And hence (And hence),
    They find (They find)
    Their task is not a grind.

    Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h ah!

    A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
    The medicine go down-wown
    The medicine go down
    Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
    In a most delightful way Writer/s: Richard Sherman, Robert Sherman
