Song Text
Though many variations have arisen over the years, the popular song text are as follows (dance motions in parentheses):
First verse:
I'm a little teapot,
Short and stout,
Here is my handle, (one hand on hip)
Here is my spout, (other arm out with elbow and wrist bent)
When I get all steamed up,
Hear me shout,
Tip me up and pour me out! (lean over toward spout)
Second verse:
I'm a clever teapot,
Yes, it's true,
Here's an example of what I can do,
I can turn my handle into a spout, (switch arms)
Tip me up and pour me out!
