I am a Little Teapot Nursery Rhyme

I 'm a Little Teapot Nursery Rhyme with lyrics. This fun children's song - "I'm a Little Teapot" - dates back to the days when most middle-class children were expected to take dancing lessons. The smallest children had difficulty learning a step called the Waltz Clog (a popular and easy-to-learn tap dance routine), so George Harold Sanders was asked to create a simple song-and-dance routine. Thus "The Teapot Song" was born, along with the accompanying dance called "The Teapot Tip."

Here are the lyrics to the full song, with the moves:

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 over and pour me out! (lean over toward spout)
I'm a clever teapot,
Yes it's true
Here let me show you
What I can do
I can change my handle
And my spout (switch arms)
Just tip me over and pour me out!

Today "I'm a Little Teapot" is very popular among kindergarteners and preschoolers as a song for circle time, and much wiggling of the hips accompanies the phrase "When I get all steamed up."
