Chorus
Production is the process of creating goods and services,
Or adding value to existing goods to satisfy human wants.
It combines land, labour, capital, and entrepreneurship,
To make products available for consumption or trade.
Verse 1
Creation of utility, we make it new,
Factors combine — that’s number two.
Aimed at wants, both old and strong,
Continuous work all day long.
Verse 2
Exchange and distribution take their place,
Output shows the work we face.
Human effort makes it through,
That’s production — tried and true.
