The Contraction Song

The Contraction Song
 
I’m the first word; don’t change me!
     Don’t change me, don’t change me.
I’m the first word; don’t change me!
     Oh, no, just let me be.
 
When you change the second word,
     Second word, second word,
When you change the second word,
     A shorter word you’ll see.
 
Certain letters are taken out,
     Taken out, taken out.
Certain letters are taken out.
     One word will remain.
 
Apostrophe will fill that space,
     Fill that space, fill that space.
Apostrophe will fill that space,
     The rest will stay the same.
 
Can’t and couldn’t, isn’t, too.
     Isn’t, too, isn’t, too,
Won’t and I’ve and let’s, it’s true,
     Contractions every one.
 
I’m and she’s and you’re and he’d,
     You’re and he’d, you’re and he’d,
Wouldn’t, didn’t, we’ll and she’d,
     Good! And now we’re done.
 
by Author Unknown: can be sung to the same tune as that of, “London Bridge is Falling Down”
 
Are you ready for your contraction test? Read through the song, write out each contraction, and then write the words in their uncontracted form. For example, if the contraction shouldn’t were in the song, which it isn’t, you would write “shouldn’t - should not.”
