The Contraction Round
to the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat
words by Suzy Red

Con-trac-tions are fun!
We use them every day!
Just listen as you squash
Two words;
Then take letters away!

DID NOT 
DIDN'T
I squashed 
The O right out!
It didn't die or even cry!
So I don't have to pout!

SHE WOULD,
Becomes SHE'D.
I squashed four letters out!
They didn't die 
Or even cry!
So I don't have to pout!

For wonderfully exciting fun, sing it again in a round!
