Economies
(Tune: This Old Man)
 

 
  1. Ha! Ha! Ha! Some countries
    Have traditional economies.
    And they produce, oh yes, they do,
    The way tradition tells them to.

  2. Ha! Ha! Ha! Some countries
    Have command economies.
    And they produce, oh yes, they do,
    The way their leaders tell them to.

  3. Ha! Ha! Ha! Some countries
    Have market economies.
    And they produce, oh yes, they do,
    The way the market tells them to.

  4. Ha! Ha! Ha! Most countries
    Really have mixed economies.
    And they produce, oh yes, they do,
    The way that many things tell them to.
