Teeth! Mouth! Esophagus! Stomach!
Small intestine! Large intestine! Colon!

Out of the garden and into your mouth my journey begins.
Like a washing machine, I sit in your mouth and spin, spin, spin.
When I'm all chewed up I'm gonna take a ride
down the esophagus, esophagus slide!

I'm a piece of food going down...

Now I'm in the stomach, a muscular sac.
I've been mixed up now I'm stored here.
Hopefully I'm not going back to your mouth!
While I'm here the gastric juices will help me dissolve.
My proteins are exposed down to their peptide bonds.

I've moved to the small intestine, although it's very long.
Nutrients are absorbed here.
Before I leave the nutrients will be long, long gone.
My few materials that are left move to the large intestine.

It is here where I get
scrunched up, concentrated,
packed, crammed, alternated;
never the same again.
My water's absorbed through intestinal walls.
I'm coming to my end!
