Medicine

Sometimes I just go crazy Trying to give my kid his medicine You have to be some kind of genius You know, like Thomas Edison? And I've tried almost everything From the airplane to the train But he always sees it coming And the teardrops fall like rain I try to tell him, "It's good for you" He just tightens his lips and grunts Or knocks the spoon out of my hand Just another of his crazy stunts Now my kid is only four years old And when I tell him it will make him better He says, "Have your people call my people, And print it in the form of a letter" And Mary Poppins lied to us all When she told us what to do "A spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down" Well, that just simply isn't true
