Itsy Bitsy Spider Song Download

Download the Song: Lyrics: The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout. Down came the rain, and washed the spider out.

The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the waterspout.

Down came the rain
And washed the spider out.

Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain.

So the itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again!

Moving around like the Pop It crew is the way to the perfect dance for you!

Some primates live in trees and some live on the land and in trees. In this episode we meet KINDERZOO's finest primates like our host Gabby the Gibbon, Deni the Douc Langur, Marty the Mandrill, Colin the Colobus Monkey and Mike the Proboscis Monkey. We also learn how Mike got his large nose in Kinderzoo Tales.

In this episode we go on safari in Africa and meet Polly the Springbok Antelope, Harry the Hippopotamus, Rhiannon the Rhinoceros and we see two of our favourites running around - Debra the Forgetful Zebra and Ryan the Lion. Our KInderzoo Tale this week is about how Gerry the Giraffe got his long neck.

The origin of 'Itsy Bitsy Spider' was when it was found in a book, along with another version that was dated back to 1910 titled Camp and Camino in Lower California. However, this version was an adult version using more graphic terms. It was then later published in Western Folklore novels providing different versions that were more suitable for children in the 1950's.

The song is more like a poem that is said in a sing song way. It provides rhyming lyrics and tells a story. There are also gestures that have been added to the song to show the spider on its journey.

The song talks about a spider that went up a water spout, and then it started to rain. The spider was then washed out by this rain, and then concludes that the sun came out and dried the rain so that the spider can continue up the spout again. However, there are many versions out there that can be sung.

'Itsy Bitsy Spider' is also referred to as 'Eency Weency Spider' or 'Incy Wincy Spider' and is a very popular young children's nursery rhyme. The song is often sung with small children accompanied by the sequence of actions or gestures mimicking the words.

Verse 2: monkey
A teeny-weenie monkey
Climbed up a coconut tree;
Down came a coconut and bopped him on his knee. (Lisa would slap her knee while citing this line)
Out came his Daddy and kissed away the pain,
And the teeny-weenie monkey climbed up the tree again.

Verse 3: ladybug
A tiny-shiny ladybug
Crawled inside a rose;
A gardener splashed her on her pretty nose.
The ladybug was frightened and thought that it was rain,
And the gardener said: 'Sorry. I won't do that again'.

Verse 4: pill bug
A cutesy-wootsy pill bug
Lived in a flower bed;
A bird saw it crawling while flying overhead.
The pill bug rolled up and looked just like a stone,
And the bird kept on flying and left it all alone.

Verse 5: butterfly
A sweetie-weetie butterfly
Flew around and 'round;
A strong wind came along and blew it to the ground.
Out came its Daddy and gave it a kiss and hug,
And the sweetie-weetie butterfly was as happy as a bug.

Here's a short version with a BIG SPIDER

The GREAT BIG SPIDER went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the GREAT BIG SPIDER went up the spout again.

Here are some verses that you can add on

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the kitchen wall,
whoosh went the fan and made the spider fall,
off went the fan,
no longer did it blow,
so the itsy bitsy spider,
back up the fan did go.

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the big oak tree,
she slipped on a limb and landed next to me,
out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
so the itsy bitsy spider,
went right back up again.

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up without a stop,
she spun a silky web right at the very top,
she wove and spun and when her web was done,
the itsy bitsy spider,
rested in the sun.

This version has different lyrics and you can use it to introduce the word: 'spinnerets'
