Verve Pipe - Spoonful of Sugar lyrics

rate me

I adore a confrontationand I should be ashamed

A carnival of complicationeveryone's to blame

We can see the rocket's red glare

Pipe bomb bursting in the air

As we proudly hail our taxis out of the fight

Singing born of this nation of white bread foundation

We're taping a kingbeaten of his crown

My country 'tis of theesweet land of irony

Spoonful of sugar to wash it down

I have seen the hungry facesand I have been removed

Evidence in welfare casesnever being proved

We've written books on education

Summoned federal regulation

Skeleton hid deeply 'til it's bones turn to dust

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly

I don't know why exactlyI guess she'll die

My country 'tis of theesweet land of irony

Spoonful of sugar to wash it down

And God save the queenohand pardon the king

And our ballots we'll stuffthen drink 'till we drown

My country 'tis of theesweet land of irony

Spoonful of sugar to wash it down
