What Happens When You Flush The Toilet?

When you press down the flusher it pulls on a chain

Which tugs on the plug and opens a drain

The water in the tank drops down in the hole

Through a short wide pipe into the toilet bowl

And that's what makes the toilet flush

The water comes whooshing in a big loud rush

And down through an S-Shaped pipe it flows

So the stinky stuff all gets carried below (Look at it go) (Whee!)

Now up in the tank when the water's all gone

There's a float that drops to let a valve turn on

When the tank gets full then it floats to the top

Where it closes the valve and makes the water stop

Then it's ready for another good flush you know

Which is good, cause you'll need it when you gotta go

It's a marvelous thing but you gotta take care

You can't just throw anything in there

Don't flush an old sock or a baby wipe

It'll make a big mess when it clogs the pipe

But a little toilet paper is A-OK

So when you're through you can safely flush it all away

And don't forget to wash your hands
