Original London Cast of Mary Poppins - A Spoonful of Sugar

{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's 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

Oh! My point exactly

A robin feathering its nest
Has very little time to rest
Whilst 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!

{MARY POPPINS, MICHAEL, JANE}
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

{MARY POPPINS, spoken}
Spit-spot!

(sung)
The honey bees that fetch the nectar from the flowers to the comb
Never tire of ever buzzing too and fro
Because they take a little nip
From every flower that they sip -

Ah rum punch, my favorite
And hence
They find
Their task is not a grind!

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
The medicine go down

{MARY POPPINS, MICHAEL, JANE}
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

{MRS. BANKS}
So, just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down?

{ROBERTSON ALY}
The medicine go down?

{MRS. BANKS}
The medicine go down

{MARY POPPINS, MICHAEL, JANE}
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way!

{ALL}
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
The medicine go down
The medicine go down

In a most delightful way!
