I'm a Little Teapot is a children's rhyme sung by Elmo in the 1999 Sesame Street film The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland to convince the Humongous Chicken that he is not a worm. This backfires, however, when the chicken decides Elmo is a teapot, and throws him into the sky, pointing out he hasn't had his "din-din" yet.
In the recurring sketch, Monsters in Day Care, Eugene and Karin taught this song for Herry Monster to demonstrate to the monsters at the day care.
Prairie Dawn and Elmo also sung this song since it is one of the things to do on Prairie Dawn's list in Episode 3964.
Clueless Morgan led Old Tom, Mudwell the Mudbunny and Calico in a variation called "I'm a Little Pirate" in the Muppet Treasure Island sing-along video.
