       Bb                          Eb
That a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
Bb                Eb
Medicine go down, medicine go down
       Bb                          Eb
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
Cb            Bb       Eb

[Verse 2]
        Eb
A robin feathering his nest has very little time to rest
                                      Bb
While gathering his bits of twine and twig
               Ab             Cb            Eb/Bb         F
Though quite intent in his pursuit he has a merry tune to toot
A  Bb    A Bb   A    Bb   A   Bb  A Bb
He knows a song will move the job along

[Chorus]
      Bb                          Eb
And a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
Bb                Eb
Medicine go down, medicine go down
       Bb                          Eb
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
Cb            Bb       Eb
In the most delightful way

Alright, boys!

          Eb
The honey bees that fetch the nectar from the flowers to the comb
                                  Bb
They never tire of buzzing to an' fro
                 Ab            Cb             Eb               F
Yeah 'cause they take a little nip from ev'ry flower that they sip
A   Bb    A    Bb   A     Bb   A  Bb  A Bb    N.C.
And hence they find their task is not a grind
