Lyrics

It could be a spoonful of coffee
It could be a spoonful a-tea
But one little spoon
Of your precious love
Is good enough for me
Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Ev'rybody fight about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon
That spoonful
(guitar & instrumental)
It could be a spoonful a-water
To save you from the desert sand
But one spoon of lead
From my forty-five
Will save you from another man
Men lie-ii about that spoonful
Some cry-ii about that spoonful
Some die-ii about that spoonful
Ev'rybody fight about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon
That spoonful
That spoon, that spoon
That spoonful
(guitar & instrumental)
(piano & instrumental)
It could be a spoonful a-sugar
It could be a spoonful a-tea
But one little spoon
Of your precious love
Is good enough for me-ee
Men lie-ii about that spoonful
Some cry-ii about that spoonful
Some die-ii about that spoonful
Ev'rybody fight about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon
That spoonful
A-that spoon, that spoon
That spoonful
That spoon, that spoon
That spoonful
That spoon, that spoon
That spoonful
~
