🎤 Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
They buy in large quantities, big and wide
They sell in smaller quantities to retailers’ side
They require large capital to stand strong
They deal in specific goods all day long
[CHORUS]
Wholesale trade is the buying of
goods in large quantities uh....
from manufacturers
and selling them in smaller quantities
to retailers.
Yes yea yea
[VERSE 2]
They keep warehouses to store goods well
They act as middlemen — you can tell
They operate in commercial towns each day
Helping trade move in a smooth, steady way
[VERSE 2]
Wholesale trade is the buying of
goods in large quantities uh....
from manufacturers
and selling them in smaller quantities
to retailers.
Yes yea yea
[BRIDGE]
They operate in commercial towns each day
Helping trade move in a smooth, steady way
[CHORUS]
Wholesale trade is the buying of
goods in large quantities uh....
from manufacturers
and selling them in smaller quantities
to retailers.
Yes yea yea
