Lyrics: This song grew out of our sons’ explanation of why they could say, "I’m full - what’s for dessert?"  It was fun giving this song a Texas swing flavor, with the help of pedal steel player Jim Cohen of Beats Walkin’.

(Chorus:)
I have two stomachs, two stomachs, two stomachs
I have two stomachs - one for the meal; one just for dessert

Well, I’ve heard that cows have three
That really isn’t strange to me
'Cause I believe that kids have two
and that’s why we eat the way that we do -

(Chorus)

When it’s time for broccoli,
I say that that’s enough for me.
But I have still got room for pie,
and I’d be glad to tell you why - (it’s because)

(Chorus)

I’m filled to the top with beans
but I could still devour ice-cream.
Of spinach, I have had enough,
but I’ve still got room for marshmallow fluff

(Chorus - Instrumental)

(Bridge:)
When kids grow up, two merge into one
That’s why grown-up meals are much less fun!

(Chorus)

(Tag:)
No more mustard, lots of room for custard
One for the meal; one just for dessert
No onion dip, but lots of mint chocolate chip
One for the meal; one just for dessert
No more meat, but yes to rice-chrispie treat
One for the meal; one just for dessert.
