Lyrics
Contraction Faction, what's your action?
You take two words and make subtractions!
(And sometimes three)
"Do not" to "don't" and "will not" to "won't,"
"Could have" to "could've" — but "could of?" Please don't!
That apostrophe's working overtime,
Smushing words together, making sentences shine!
"I am" to "I'm," and "you are" to "you're,"
"We have" to "we've" — want to learn some more?
Contraction Faction, what's your action?
Combining words for your satisfaction!
And when you're feeling really slick,
Try "y'all'd've" — that's the Southern trick!
Four words in one, ain't that a feat?
The Contraction Faction can't be beat!
