Mary Poppins agrees with Jerry!

ARTIST: Richard and Robert Sherman
TITLE: Spoonful of Sugar
PERFORMED: Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins)

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, 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

For a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down, the medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

The honeybees that bring the nectar
From the flowers to the comb
Never tire in ever buzzing to and fro
Because they take a little nip
From every flower that they sip
And hence (and hence) they find (they find)
Their task is not a grind Ah!

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down, the medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
