A Spoonful of Sugar
[KACEY MUSGRAVES]
(spoken)
In every job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun
And snap!
The job's a game!

(sung)
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
Medicine go down
Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

[Verse 1]
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's got a merry tune to toot
He knows a song will move the job along
[Chorus]
And a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
Medicine go down
Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

(spoken)
All right, boys!
Uh huh

[Verse 2]
(sung)
The honey bees that fetch the nectar
From the flowers to the comb
They never tire of buzzing to and fro
Yeah, 'cause 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

(spoken)
Can't ya'll play it any faster?
[BAND]
Sure, yeah!
One, two, three!

(sung)
[Chorus]
[KACEY MUSGRAVES]
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
Medicine go down
Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In the most delightful way

(spoken)
Pick it up, boys!

(sung)
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
Medicine go down
Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

(spoken)
Even faster!
(sung)
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
Medicine go down
Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
Oh, in a most delightful way!
