Little Israeli Teapot

Today as I watched a young Israeli athelete receive a gold medal and heard Israel's national anthem for the first time, I realized that it was actually a minor key version of "I'm a Little Teapot." As we watched the athlete with tears in his eyes mouthing the Hebrew words we couldn't understand, my father and I sang along anyway, belting what we knew by sheer intuition the translation to be- "WHEN I GET ALL STEAMED UP HEAR ME SHOUT, TIP ME OVER AND POUR ME OUT!"
