Well, it could be a spoonful of coffee
Could be a spoonful of tea
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Good enough for me

I'm just wild about that
I'm just crazy 'bout that
I'm just wild about that
Everybody talkin' 'bout
That spoon, that spoon, that
That spoon, that spoon, that

Well, it could be a spoonful of diamonds
Could be a spoonful of gold
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Satisfy my soul

A man lies about that
Man cries about a little
Man dies about a little
Everybody fightin' about it
That spoon, that spoon, that
That spoon, that spoon, that

Well, it could be a spoonful of water
Save you from the desert sand
Just a spoon of lead from a.45
Save you from another man

I'm just wild about that
I'm just crazy 'bout that
You know I'm wild about that
Everybody talkin' 'bout
That spoon, that spoon, that
That spoon, that spoon, that

Well, it could be a spoonful of coffee
It could be a spoonful of tea
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Good enough for me

A man lies about a little
Man cries about a little
Man lies about a little
Everybody fightin' about it
Everybody fightin' about it
Everybody fightin' about it
Everybody talkin' 'bout it
Everybody crazy 'bout it
Oh, everybody talkin' 'bout it

That spoon, that spoon, that
That spoon, that spoon, that
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
Spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
Spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
