Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've had a little talk with my stomach
And I've decided to treat him right
We've made a mutual agreement
And I think at last we've both seen the light
The proper food and drink I shall give him
That he may do his job successfully
And render every organ of this body
Free from lack of strength and energy
[Instrumental]
I've had a little talk with my lungs
And I've decided to treat them right
We've made a mutual agreement
And I think at last we've both seen the light
Fresh air and exercise I shall give them
That they may do their job successfully
And render to this dissipated body
Channels to a new vitality
[Instrumental]
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm
[Instrumental]
Yes, I've had a little talk with my heart
And I've decided to treat him right
We’ve made a mutual agreement
And I think at last we've both seen the light
The stress and strain of life I will lessen
That he may do his job successfully
And render to the motor of this body
Fuel of life that spans the arteries
[Instrumental]
So have a little talk with your organs
And you will find that they'll treat you right
Just make a mutual agreement
That you never more shall cuss, fuss or fight
Two of you have gone into contract
You may do the job successfully
Bring about the union of this body
That it soon may know totality
[Outro]
Totality
