Eensy Weensy (or Itsy Bitsy) Spider
The eensy weensy (or itsy bitsy) spider
Crawled up the water spout ('Climb' up arm)
Down came the rain (Wiggle fingers down from head to waist)
And washed the spider out (Throw arms to sides)
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain (Raise hands above head, make circle for sun)
And the eensy weensy spider
Crawled up the spout again.('Climb' up arm again)
