Lyrics
Contractions, contractions
Help you read and write
Contractions, contractions
Ill rap and tell you why
You start with one or two words
And take one or more letters away
And theres always an apostrophe that takes the letters place
They shorten words or put two words together
Thats what they do
Learn and use contractions
And youll see theyre really cool
Here are some words were going to shorten and make contractions
Say them with me
Do not Dont
Will not Wont
She will shell
He will hell
Has not Hasnt
Have not Havent
He is Hes
She is Shes
H
