A spoonful of sugar helps the what go down?
A Spoonful of Sugar day. Robert asked one of his children if it hurt (thinking the child had received a shot). The child responded that the medicine was put on a cube of sugar and that he swallowed it. Realizing what he had, Robert Sherman arrived at work early the next morning with the title of the song ""A Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Medicine Go Down"". Sherman suggested the lyric to his brother, Richard, who was at first dismissive but slowly came around. At his brother's behest, Richard put melody to the lyric, and with that, the song was born.

A Spoonful of Sugar A Spoonful of Sugar "A Spoonful of Sugar" is a song from Walt Disney's 1964 film and the musical versions of "Mary Poppins", composed by Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman. It is an uptempo song sung by Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews), instructing the two children, Jane (Karen Dotrice) and Michael (Matthew Garber) to clean their room. But even though the task is daunting, with a good attitude, it can still be fun. The melody is heard throughout the film as Mary's leitmotif. As part of the interlude, she sees that Michael couldn't get out of the closet doors
