A 'song' written by a student a few year's ago, although I am not sure it
would help Ashley in his quest!
John's GDP Rap
Chorus: Now here's a story 'bout GDP
If you're doin' economics better listen to me.
Several factors fit in nice and neat
So come on, get down and drum to the beat.
If you wanna a little growth then you gotta invest,
Don't just save your money and make a comfortable nest.
Methods of extraction, machines and tools
Dated manufacturing is only for fools.
Chorus: Now here's a story 'bout GDP
If you're doin' economics better listen to me.
Several factors fit in nice and neat
So come on, get down and drum to the beat.
Consumer spending can be added to the list
For a higher livin' standard you gotta do this.
People want products they buy from the shops
But if you're not careful they'll pull out spending stops;
Inflation, taxation would plague you soon,
After a short term rise amounting to a boom.
Chorus: Now here's a story 'bout GDP
If you're doin' economics better listen to me.
Several factors fit in nice and neat
So come on, get down and drum to the beat.
Producers, consumers, now who else spends?
The government's the answer 'coz they're everyone's friends.
Healthcare, welfare, public worker guys.
And don't forget they need John Prescott's pies.
Chorus: Now here's a story 'bout GDP
If you're doin' economics better listen to me.
Several factors fit in nice and neat
So come on, get down and drum to the beat.
We've dealt with purchase within this country
But there are other guys who live over the sea.
They need to live too and if they buy British made,
Well that all contributes to the balance of trade.
But if foreign goods come in any amount
We get a deficit on our current account.
Chorus: Now here's a story 'bout GDP
If you're doin' economics better listen to me.
Several factors fit in nice and neat
So come on, get down and drum to the beat.
