When you look down the street, what do you see?
The street is overflowing with a lot of machines.
Now I don't mean the buses, the trucks or cars.
I'm talking about the people,
Yeah, you know who they are.

Everybody that you know
I'm a machine, you're a machine.
To keep your engine running you need energy
For your highYou know, they are machines.
Your high
Now, I'd be a fool, if I said that the fuel that
We needed to burn was gasoline,
Because the fuel we use is the stuff called food,
And it puts out the power for our machine.
You make a stop at the filling station,
"Fill 'er up! One chicken sandwich to go!"
As you start to chew,

Your body does it. All systems go!
CHEF: Now that sandwich contains some very
important kinds of food energy for your body. The
chicken gives you protein; bread, carbohydrates;
mayonnaise, fat; and the lettuce has vitamins, plus

cellulose (or roughage). Together these things help

First the saliva, kind of like a driver
"Move to the rear of the mouth!"
But what it's doing,
Along with teeth chewing,
Is taking food and breaking it down.

Down to the stomach,
The food is pushed, the esophagus does its stuff,
And the stomach starts,
As the body machine churns up
Look at those moving parts,
Gastric juices operate on proteins,
Fats and carbohydrates.

In the stomach they do what they do.
They take out the nutrition and use it for You.
And the cellulose, in those leaves You know,
Helps the food to move along so the good stays In,

Will control the traffic flow.
And the bad gets goin'.
I'm a machine, You're a machine.
Everybody that You know

Then the small intestine does most of Your digesting,

By sending all the nutrients
In through the villi,
But act as little vents
Which look a little silli
The blood stream passes; the nutrients it catches
And takes them to the cells You see,
You use what it delivers,
And it stores some in the liver
For future energv.

Everybody that You know,

Take care of that machine.
Give it the right fuel
High protein, low calorie
You got such a great model there, honey!
Take it out for a spin every day
