We used to sing basically what everyone else put but we would say;
"when i get all steamed up
hear me shout
tip me UP
and pour me out"
Im not sure which is classically correct, but i know that the word "up" seems to fit better into the song than "over".

I'm a Little Teapot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
"I'm a Little Teapot" is a nursery rhyme describing the boiling and pouring of a teapot.
The recitation of this rhyme is generally accompanied by physical actions that involve imitating a teapot (actions described in brackets below).
The rhyme with a 9-9-9-8 rhythm:
I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle (place one hand on corresponding hip to imitate handle), here is my spout (position other hand in air to imitate spout).
When I get all steamed up then I shout. (alternately, "hear me shout")
Tip me over and pour me out (lean to the right to imitate pouring tea from the spout).
The third line often varies: one line used is "When I spy a teacup, then I shout".
Though uncommon, an optional second verse exists:
I'm a clever teapot, yes it's true
Here's an example of what I can do
I can change my handle to my spout (switch arm positions and repeat tipping motion).
Just tip me over and pour me out.
Another version, common in the United Kingdom, with a 9-7-9-7 rhythm:
I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here's my handle, here's my spout.
When the kettle's boiling, hear me shout. (Though "When I get all steamed up, hear me shout" is commonly used)
Tip me up and pour me out.

This is what the little girls sang in Columbus, Ohio, forty years ago (to a pantomime that defies description, and made the elderly white substitute teacher swallow her upper plate):
Here is the tea-pot,
here is the spout-
Sock it to me Baby,
let it all hang out!

Lyrics as I remember them------
I'm a little tea pot, short and stout
Here is my handle; here is my spout
When I get all steamed up, I will shout
Just tip me over and pour me out.
I'm a very clever pot, it's true
Here's an example of what I can do
I can change my handle and my spout
Just tip me over and pour me out.

I'm a little teapot short and stout
This is my handle, this is my spout
When I get all steamed up here me shout
Tip me over and pour me out
I'm a little teapot dancin' at the party
See my handle rock up and down
My lid is slippy swirlin', spout is tippy twirlin'
See my bottom swivel around
All the little teacups love to see me wiggle
They giggle in their saucers with glee
I'm a rock and rollin', rolly polly soul now
Won't you come and dance with me?
The party's over now please wash me out
Scrub my lid and handle, don't forget my spout
Put me on the shelf; turn out the kitchen light
It's time for me to say, "good night."
