Warning: Do not read this one while eating
Speaking of nutrition, here's a novelty song I almost forgot I had written. While I was in music ministry with Kevin S. Johnson, he nudged me somewhat in the direction of health-food preoccupations. This led me to write--
"The Lament of the Large Intestine"
I work night and day, but nobody thanks me, although I am putting my best in;
I'm long overdue for some recognition--I'm your overworked large intestine.
You don't speak of me; but I'm here and you need me, whether or not you admit it.
For most of your life, you've treated me badly; but if you like living, you'll quit it.
Yippee-oh, yippee-ay, I work night and day,
So let me just put one request in:
When you sit down to eat, watch out how you treat
Your hard-working large intestine.
You fill up your face with all of the wrong things, like factory sugars and starches;
Then I have to deal with all of the garbage, down here between your pelvic arches.
It might not be quite so bad if the burden were lighter, but you keep on stuffing
Enormous amounts of junk in your stomach, whose nourishment is next to nothing.
Yippee-oh, yippee-ay, I work night and day,
So let me just put one request in:
Quit decaying your teeth, and give some relief
To your weary large intestine.
Now, if you detect an extra-bad odor from your lower regions arising,
Don't just hold your nose; that might be me saying your diet could stand some revising.
Cut down on red meats, the chemicals more so; have pity on your large intestine!
You are what you eat, so try eating real food; you might also take comfrey-pepsin.
Yippee-oh, yippee-ay, I work night and day,
So let me just put one request in:
When you sit down to eat, watch out how you treat
Your hard-working large intestine....long-suffering large intestine.
