In ev’ry job that must be done there is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap! the job’s a game
And ev’ry task you undertake becomes a piece of cake
A lark! Aspree! It’s very clear to me
That a... Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go dow-wown 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
