I’M A LITTLE TEAPOT Lyrics
 
I’m a little teapot
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout
 
When I get all steamed up
I just shout
“Tip me over
and pour me out!”
 
I’m a very special pot
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!”
