A Spoonful Of Sugar Lyrics

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! Aspree!
It's very clear to me

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

Bits of twine and twig

Though quite intent in his pursuit

He knows a song
Will move the job along

Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

entertain yourself while you clean; sing or whatever. an analogy is taking sugar with medicine makes it sweeter, therfore easier to swallow. cleaning is easy with entertainment

I believe the song is of metaphors. Sugar = young loving. Medicine = life/reality/pain. Sometimes a person or a hobby (etc) will make life liveable. Obviously, though, in the movie the song had a literal reference.

LMBO... I JUST got the Imperial March comment. Now that's not very nice. I hear soap is a good way to cure a sassy mouth:)
