Lyrics : Richard M. Sherman/Robert B. Sherman
Music : Richard M. Sherman/Robert B. Sherman
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
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 alone
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 honeybees 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
