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 For 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 The honeybees that fetch the nectar from the flower 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 they find, their task is not a grind Ah
