6. Poetry If I Could Build a Town Betsy Franco If I could build a town, well then, I know just what I'd make: an ice cream store, a toy shop, and a store with bread and cake. I guess I'd make a park and build a nifty fire station. Say, would you like to help me? It just takes imagination! Main Street Betsy Franco The bookstore, / the sports store, / the grocery, The post office,/ bank, and the / library, The firehouse, / the clinic, / the town police. The pet store, / the shoe store, / the bakery. I gave you / a tour all along / our main street. Now don't you / agree that / our city is neat?

10. Oh Give Me a Choice Tune: Home on the Range Oh give me a choice, Oh, a difficult choice, And I'll think about what I could use, I'll have to decide, With my eyes open wide What I'll give up and what I will choose. Opportunity Cost! It's the thing you give up when you choose. It's the price that is paid When a choice must be made. It's the thing that I surely will lose.

11. We've Been Working on Production Tune: I've Been Working on the Railroad We've been working on production, All the livelong day. We've been working on production, Just to make some goods this way. We use natural resources, Such as land, and oil, and trees. We use capital resources, Such as tools and factories. Now we will work! Now we will work! When we use our human resources. Now we will work! Now we will work! We use our human resources.
