“I’m a little teapot” was written in order to teach children a dance routine. Clarence Kelley -who composed the song with George Harold Sanders- and his wife ran a dance school for children. As the movements for the “Waltz Clog” that they wanted to teach were difficult for children to learn, they wrote “I’m a little teapot” with a helpful choreography.
The song was published in 1939. Actually, the dance moves for the song are a pantomime of a teapot’s figure.

I’m a Little Teapot Lyrics
1. 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!
2. I’m a special teapot,
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!
