Consumers and Producers Song
Tune: The More We Get Together

Consumers need producers
Producers, producers
Consumers need producers
To make products they want

Consumers shop for bargains
For bargains, for bargains
Consumers shop for bargains
To get the best price

Producers need consumers
Consumers, consumers
Producers need consumers
To buy products they make

Producers hope to make a profit
A profit, a profit
Producers hope to make a profit
To continue to sell

Children recite this sentence out loud before singing the last verse:

"After studying economics, it seems very obvious to us that as far as Consumers and Producers are concerned….":

The more they get together
Together, together
The more they get together
The better off we'll be!

Adapted from an original song by a student from Carmel Elementary School, Carmel, Indiana
