“The Teapot Song” (commonly known as “I’m a Little Teapot”) is a song describing the heating and pouring of a teapot or tea kettle. The song was originally written by George Harold Sanders and Clarence Z. Kelley and published in 1939.^[1]Ronnie Kemper is the singer who first sang this song and is represented in this photograph.

Creation

Clarence Kelley and his wife ran a dance school for children, which taught the “Waltz Clog”, a popular and easy-to-learn tap routine. This routine, however, proved too difficult for the younger students to master. To solve this problem, George Sanders wrote The Teapot Song, which required minimal skill and encouraged natural pantomime. Both the song and its accompanying dance, the “Teapot Tip”, became enormously popular in America and overseas.^[2]

Song Text

I’m a little teapot,

Short and stout,

Here is my handle (one hand on hip),

Here is my spout (other arm out with elbow and wrist bent),

When I get all steamed up,

Hear me shout,

Tip me over and pour me out! (lean over toward spout)

Second verse:

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, (switch arms)

Tip me over and pour me out!

Spiders – Halloween Is My Season

I bought this spider necklace and earring set at Sherri’s on Talbot Street. Yes, I’m stirring gravy and drinking wine at our friends in Ailsa Craig. This doodle art I specifically did for Heather my good friend in Mississauga but it can be for “any friend”. Cards are a lovely way to say “Hello”. If you want boxed sets as Christmas gifts (or any time). Heather has already order 2 boxes as Christmas gifts for friends. Each box will contain 5 cards (in plastic jackets with envelopes) for $15.00. I’ll put them in white boxes and tie up with black ribbon. I can accommodate a variety of doodle art as well. It is a fun, happy and colourful gift that is useful.

Business Sample Show 2011

Bob and Gail McNaughton participated in the Business Sample Show at St. Anne’s Centre on October 19, 2011 Sponsored by the St. Thomas & District Chamber of Commerce. They had expected a larger crowd of people but given a dreary night with wind and rain, the attendance was good and who is supposed to be there will always show up. Regardless of who attended, including the Chamber members and the public, people mingled and visited the vendor booths. At the Dog & Pony booth, the gift that was given out was one of three greeting cards prepared by Gail from her doodle art collection. Each card had a caption on the bottom – “Halloween”, “The Dream Lady Of Joy & Love” or “Pink Is The Colour Of Hope”. There were those who loved certain cards so this is the one that they selected. Thanks to all those who attended our booth. Enjoy your greeting card and remember Dog & Pony Productions Inc., The Photographic Heart and our new division, Social Media COO. Send your greeting card to someone who you want to contact and send it with love and endearment. We all need a hug!
