This song is available on Frank Bruen's What About All This Business?

Child narrator prefaces son explaining trades.  Young boy and girl sing about how people can “trade” things to get something they both want.

Merry merry,  hmmm, merry merry
Merry merry, hmmm,  merry merry

 (Boy)   If I give you a marigold and placed it in your hand,
Will you walk along the beach and help me play with sand?
We could build a castle, as high as we could reach,
And give it to a starfish, for a home upon the beach.  

A Marigold for Company,
A Marigold for Company,
A Marigold for Company,
Sounds like a pretty good deal!

Merry merry,  hmmm, merry merry
Merry merry, hmmm,  merry merry

 (Girl)  If you give me a Marigold and place it in my hand,
I’ll walk along the beach with you and help you play with sand.
(Boy)  If I give you a Marigold,
(Girl)  Yes I’ll come out and play,
(Together)  And we’ll both have the things we want
And have a happy day.

A Marigold for Company,
A Marigold for Company,
A Marigold for Company,
Sounds like a pretty good deal!
