A Spoonful of Sugar From "Mary Poppins" Composed by Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. 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 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 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 They find Their task is not a grind
