What happens to your food?
What happens to your food?
What you need stays in. What you don’t goes out.
That’s what digestion’s all about.

The food starts in your mouth.
The food starts in your mouth.
Your teeth break it up with saliva too,
And before you can eat something new,

It’s in your esophagus tube.
It’s in your esophagus tube.
Then in your stomach it breaks up again
The food’s so small; what happens then?

To the intestines it rolls.
To the intestines it rolls.
For some food the story’s done
But vitamins and mineral go on a blood run.

Your blood takes what it needs.
Your blood takes what it needs
To your bones, skin, brain and heart
To make your body strong and smart.

What happens to your food?
What happens to your food?
What you need stays in. What you don’t goes out.
That’s what digestion’s all about.
