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 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 every flower that they sip
And hence they find their task is not a grind
Ah ah ah
