Contraction Song

(To the Tune ofLondon Bridge)

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 -

just let me be.

Certain letters are taken out

taken out,

taken out.

Certain letters are taken out -

a shorter word you'll see.

Apostrophe will fill that space

fill that space,

fill that space,

Apostrophe will fill that space -

one word will remain.
