The Contraction Song
How's it going? What's that you say?
You're looking thirsty. Where's a cafe?
​
Here's a menu. What'll it be?
I'll have a coffee. He'd like a tea.
​
Two words get close. Two become one.
Two words are married. Contractions are fun!
​
Can you fly a plane? No, I can't.
Do you ride a lion? No, I don't.
Are you 8 feet tall? No, I'm not.
Will you give me a hug? No, I won't.
​
Were you laughing at me? No, I wasn't.
Did you sleep all day? No, I didn't.
Have you been to Rome? No, I haven't.
Would you eat a snail? No, I wouldn't.
​
I'm a duck.
You're a cow.
He's a dog.
She's a cat.
It's a snake.
They're lions.
We're all animals.
