##Verse 1
Knife goes slice,
Fork goes stab,
Spoon goes scoop,
Chopsticks go grab.
Cup goes swish,
Straw goes slurp,
And the drink comes up the end
Open wide,
And food goes in,
And the teeth go om nom nom.
Then tongue goes mash,
And throat goes gulp.
Where does the food go?
##Chorus 1
Rolled into a bolus!
Sliding down esophagus!
Pushed by peristalsis!
Where does the food go?
Down for stomach acid time!
Drenched in protease enzyme!
Turned from bolus into chyme!
Where does the food go?
Onwards to duodenum,
Jejunum, and the ileum!
Villi can absorb some!
Where does the food go?
Trav'ling through the colon,
Around and to the rectum!
Now it's time to move on!
Where does the food go?
##Verse 2
Pants come down,
Butt goes push,
Poop comes out,
Water goes sploosh.
Toilet goes flush,
Water swirls
Round and round and down.
Poop sinks down
So gracefully,
Disappears into the hole.
What mystery
Lies past the drain?
Where does the poop go?
##Chorus 2
Down the pipes and to the street!
Through the sewer below our feet!
To the plant of sewage treat-
Ment! Where does the poop go?
To the sieve and through the screen!
Filtered out to be more clean!
Degreaser strips the oily sheen!
Where does the poop go?
Through some activated sludge,
Active cultures toil and drudge,
Make it clear, not brown like fudge!
Where does the poop go?
Cleaned by helpful macrophytes!
Nutrients removed on sight!
Disinfected, smells alright!
Where did the poop go?
##Breakdown
The secret of the poop
Ancient mystery
Somewhere deep underground
I know it's sitting.
Where does it go?
Will we ever know,
Or will it be a mystery?
Where does it go?
Vestige of my food,
Hiding in the ground.
Where did you go?
(A-blub blub blub gurgle)
(A-blubbity blub blub gurgle)
(A-blub blub blub gurgle)
Will we ever know?
(Blubbity blub blub gurgle)
I want to know, I want to know,
(A-blubbity blub gurgle)
I want to know, I want to knowwww!
(A-blubbity blub blub gurgle)
