LYRICS:
Digestion, digestion, digestion,
This might just,
Answer your question,
It breaks down food,
To give me nutrition!
It's got my stomach,
Swirling and swishin,'
Swallow, swallow, swish, swish, glubity-glub-glub,
Squeeze, squeeze, churny-churn, dubity-dub-dub,
Digestion, digestion, digestion,
Digestion, digestion, digestion...
My mouth comes first
Food is chew, chew, chewed!
It's swallowing time!
For the food, food, food!
Down to the stomach,
Where it can't be viewed,
Adds digestive juices,
And it's sometimes sounding rude...
Digestion, digestion, digestion,
This might just,
Answer your question,
It breaks down food,
To give me nutrition!
It's got my stomach,
Swirling and swishin'
Swallow, swallow, swish, swish, glubity-glub-glub,
Squeeze, squeeze, churny churn, dubity-dub-dub,
Digestion, digestion, digestion,
Digestion, digestion, digestion...
What comes after stomach?
Small intestine!
Absorbing nutrients,
It continues digestion,
It's really, very long
Not so really, really small,
More than 20 feet in length
Could play basketball!
Digestion, digestion, digestion,
This might just,
Answer your question,
It breaks down food,
To give me nutrition!
It's got my stomach,
Swirling and swishin'
Swallow, swallow, swish, swish, glubity-glub-glub,
Squeeze, squeeze, churny churn, dubity-dub-dub,
Digestion, digestion, digestion,
Digestion, digestion, digestion...
Large intestine's last,
Absorbing water,
Then the food is heading out,
out like food oughta'...
See, it has to go back out,
To the land and the sea,
While nutrients are left,
Inside of me...
Digestion, digestion, digestion,
This might just,
Answer your question,
It breaks down food,
To give me nutrition!
It's got my stomach,
Swirling and swishin'
Swallow, swallow, swish, swish, glubity-glub-glub,
Squeeze, squeeze, churny churn, dubity-dub-dub,
Digestion, digestion, digestion,
Digestion, digestion, digestion...
