I'M A LITTLE TEAPOT
By Clarence Kelley & George Sanders, ©1939

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.

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

TO THE SAME TUNE
Found this in Rise Up Singing.
I'M A LITTLE BLACK SEED

I'm a little black seed, plant me in a row,
Water me and feed me, watch me up and grow.
From a little seed to seedling, flower to fruit,
I'm a happy little plant from tip to root.
