I'm A Little Teapot Song

Description

I'm A Little Teapot Song written by George Harold Sanders and Clarence Z. Kelley can be heard at Reader Rabbit Toddler Game

Lyrics

I'm a little teapot

Short and stout
Here is my handle

Here is my spout

When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout
Tip me over and pour me out!

I'm a very special teapot
Yes, it's true
Here's an example of what I can do
I can turn my handle into a spout
Tip me over and pour me out!

Note

Clarence Kelley and his wife ran a dance school for children, which taught the "Waltz Clog", a popular and easy-to-learn tap dance routine. This routine, however, proved too difficult for the younger students to master. To solve this problem, George Sanders wrote The Teapot Song, which required minimal skill and encouraged natural pantomime. Both the song and its accompanying dance, the "Teapot Tip", became enormously popular in America and overseas.
