Lyrics

Two verses from the provided score

Play the melody again for the second verse.

I’m a little teapot, short and stout. Here is my handle, here is my spout. When I get all steamed up, then I shout: “Tip me over and pour me out.”

I’m a very special pot, it’s true. Here let me show you what it can do. I can change my handle and my spout. Tip me over and pour me out.

About this tune

I’m a Little Teapot turns a teapot’s handle and spout into a simple action song. The first verse describes the pot, lets it announce that it is ready, and ends with a pretend pour.

The second verse swaps the handle and spout before returning to the pouring action. Both verses fit the same melody, with a bright leap upward and a short pause after “Tip.”
