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.

Every insect's body has six legs.
Yes, every insect's body has six legs.
They have three legs on each side
And they walk on them with pride.
Every insect's body has six legs.

Oh when a wordEnds with a y

With vowel y
But when it ends with vowel y
And you want to make it a plural
Leave y alone and just add s
