"I'm a Little Teapot"
I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle [one hand on hip], here is my spout [other arm out straight]
When I get all steamed up, hear me shout
Just tip me over and pour me out!
[as song ends, lean over and tip arm out like a spout]

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

Little Tommy Tucker
Sing for your supper.
What shall he sing for?

Without any knife?
How can he marry
Without any wife?

Nine in the bed ...

Then there were none in the bed!

"Isn't it Amazing?"
"Oh, the Noble Duke of York"

Oh, the noble Duke of York
He had 10 thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
Then he marched them down again
And when they were up, they were up
And when they were down, they were down
And when they were only half-way up
They were neither up nor down

"Grandpa's Glasses"
Here are Grandpa's glasses
And here is grandpa's hat
And here is the way he folds his arms
And sits like that!

"My Hands Upon My Head"

My hands upon my head I'll place.
Upon my shoulders, on my face,
At my waist and by my side,
Then behind me they will hide.
Then I'll raise them way up high,
And let my fingers fly, fly, fly,
Then clap, clap, clap them--
One - Two -Three!
Now see how quiet they can be.
