More Than Just The Taste

We use our teeth to chew
The tongue is moving us around
Food mixed with saliva
It hits the taste buds
And that's where the flavour's found
She's finished chewing
Once she's chewed through all the food
We'll be swallowed all the way down
Then what
We get our energy from the nutrients
That keep us healthy
The food we eat is more than just the taste
We've got to digest, to stay in the race
We put the nutrients in the right place
And I'll tell you what?!, the rest can go to waste
We're pushed down a tube
It must be the oesophagus
Ahhh. I'm being pushed along
Past the heart and lungs
Down the wrong way
And she might start to cough-agus
We get our energy from the nutrients
That keep us healthy
The food we eat is more than just the taste
We've got to digest, to stay in the race
We put the nutrients in the right place
And I'll tell you what?!, the rest can go to waste
No no no let's climb back up
I don't want to go any further down
I'm sorry you don't have a choice Gammo
It looks like a letter J
The stomach has an important use
It's like a blender
Mix and churn and mash
It breaks down food with enzymes and gastric juice
Gastric juice
Our food is packed with things called nutrients.
They'll help me see in the dark
Like carbohydrates, protein, fat and vitamins
They're what we need to live
Where are we going now
We're going into the intestines
It's getting smaller
Small Intestine does the digesting
Large intestine where the waste is resting
Small Intestine does the digesting
Large intestine where the waste is resting
The food we eat is more than just the taste
We've got to digest, to stay in the race
We put the nutrients in the right place
And you'll never guess what
You'll never guess what
You'll never guess what
The rest can go to...waste
