"A Spoonful Of Sugar" lyrics

Burl Ives Lyrics

"A Spoonful Of Sugar"
(originally by Julie Andrews)

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

In every job that must be done
We find an element of fun
We find the fun and snap!
The job's a game
And every task we 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 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

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
