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      CHORUS   That a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down   The medicine go do-own   The medicine go doown   A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down   In a most delightful way      REPEAT CHORUS      A robin feathering his nest   Has very little time to rest   While gathering 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      REPEAT CHORUS
