A Song

The teensy weensy spider went up the water spout
Down came the rains and washed the spider out,
Up came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the teensy weensy spider went up the spout again.

Submitter comment:

It should be noted that while the child is singing this song he or she usually performs the hand motions indicating the actions in the song. Ex., the spider climbing the spout etc.
