I'm a Little Teapot
Song Lyrics & Words
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!"
Alternative Lyrics & Words
An alternative version goes like this
I'm a little tea pot
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout
When you see the tea cup
Hear me shout
Tip me over
Poor me out!
I'm a little sugarbowl!
I'm a little teapot short and stout,
here is my handle
(*puts one hand on hip*)
here is my spout
(*puts other hand on hip*)
(*looks confused*)
I'm a sugar bowl!
Another Short Version
Iam Teapot , I am a teapot
This my handle
This is my mouth
I pour every cup
I pour every cup
What I Can Do version
I'm a little teapot
yes it's true
just watch me and
I'll show you what I can do
I can change my handle
and my spout
just tip me over and
pour me out
I'm a tube of toothpaste!
I'm a tube of toothpaste
on the shelf.
I get so lonesome
all by myself.
When it comes to night time,
then I shout.
Pull the lid off,
squeeze me out.
Additional Version
When the kettle boils
Hear me shout
"Tip me over
And pour me out!"
Short Version
I’m a little tea cup nice and round
Fill me up and drink me down.
Put a little honey in your tea,
Then just take a sip from me.
I’m a little cookie, nice and brown
Chew me up and swallow me down
I’m a little crummy, that’s just me,
And I taste good with your cup of tea.

Once I read the song with other alternative lyrics in a Ukrainian journal: I'm a little snowman, short and fat, Here is my broomstick, here's my hat. When the jolly sunshine comes to stay, Then I slowly melt away.
