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.

 

The honey bees that fetch the nectar

From the flowers to the comb

Never tire of 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.

      Personagem criada pela escritora Pamela Lyndon Travers. Um pouco séria, de poucas palavras, sim, mas de uma imaginação absolutamente navegante. Através da figura de Poppins os filhos do Sr. e da Sra. Banks vão viver dezenas de aventuras cuja realidade, se não pode ser comprovada, pelo menos, é vivida como experiência interior.
