A Spoonful Of Sugar
Music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman

Poppins
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 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, medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In
a most delightful way
A robin feathering in his nest
Has very little time to rest
While
gathering his bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent with 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, 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
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
