Chew
it Up

Chorus:
Chew it up. Move it all around.
Digestive system
will break it down.
Break it down,
break it down.
Haven't eaten for awhile. You 're getting kind of weak
Your blood
sugars down. I think it's time to eat.
Something sour
or maybe something sweet.
Energy comes
from the food you eat.
One kind of
food, carbohydrate
is energy from the plants you ate.
Proteins build
cells and do repair.
Fats store
energy enough to spare.
repeat chorus
Eat some food. What's all the fuss?
Food goes down
the esophagus,
down to the
stomach, through intestine
then absorbed
into the blood stream.
Your liver keeps
your blood clean.
It takes out the
stuff you do not need.
You don't need
it, so it's out of this place,
out of your body
to eliminate waste.
repeat chorus
When your hungry it's time to feed.
Are you getting
all the things you need?
Just one
question about nutrition
Are you getting
all your vitamins?
Lots of fiber
and fruits and grains
keeps the system
running without the stains
Drink enough
water so you don't dry out.
Don't eat too
much that your belly pops out.
repeat chorus Break it down x3
