How fast can you learn a song?

I'm good at learning the music fairly quickly, it's remembering the words that get me.
 
My day job working with other musicians has sometimes required me to learn a song either by ear or occasionally from hand written sheet music which is on a par with attempting to interpret an old-fashioned, handwritten doctor's prescription. I'm pretty good at it but I've worked with people who are better and I don't know how they do it.
 
Depends on how into it I am. If I'm not super invested in it, it'll probably be one of those songs I'll know if I hear it kinda thing. If I'm really invested in it, maybe a few days to get the words down? I'll usually be listening to it on repeat and singing along to it, so that always helps.
 
If it's a song I really love I will listen to it over and over again while reading the lyrics so I can memorize them and sing along with the song. It takes me a bit to fully get all the lyrics down.
 
I can learn songs easily, but band, choir, and drama made that a bit easier for me. However, it does have to be a song that I enjoy.
 
Listening to it a few times is enough to make me know the lyrics. That's if I have the interest in the first place.
 
If it is a song that I really like, it won't take me more than 3 days to learn all the lyrics. Believe me, it is always a good experience singing along when such songs play.
