A Spoonful of Sugar Lyrics by Harry Connick, Jr.

Songs I Heard

2001

[Verse 1]
In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap, the job's a game
In every task you undertake becomes a piece of cake
A lark, a spree, it's very clear to see
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
The honey bees that fetch the nectar from the flowers to the comb
Never tire of ever buzzing to and fro, oh-oh
Because they take a little nip from every flower that they sip
And hence, they find their task is not a grind
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Yes, yeah, in a most delightful way
