More Than Just The Taste Lyrics

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
