Itsy Bitsy Spider

Itsy Bitsy Spider Lyrics

The Itsy Bitsy Spider
Climbed 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 Itsy Bitsy Spider
Climbed up the spout again.

Itsy Bitsy climbs on walls,
Itsy Bitsy sometimes falls.
Itsy Bitsy never gives up,
Never gives up,
No, never gives up.

Never give up,
Never give up.
Itsy Bitsy never gave up.

Never give up,
Never give up.
Itsy Bitsy never gave up.

The Itsy Bitsy Spider,
Whose puny legs were thin,
Till he lifted weights
At Mister Ribbit's gym.
With eight strong legs,
No rain could ever stop
The Itsy Bitsy Spider,
Who made it to the top.

Never give up,
Never give up.
Itsy Bitsy never gave up.

Never give up,
Never give up.
Itsy Bitsy never gave up.

Itsy Bitsy Spider never gave up,
Never give up, never give up.
Itsy Bitsy Spider never gave up,
Never give up, never give up.

Itsy Bitsy climbs on walls,
Itsy Bitsy sometimes falls.
Itsy Bitsy never gives up,
Never gives up,
No, never gives up.

Never give up,
Never give up.
Itsy Bitsy never gave up.

Never give up,
Never give up.
Itsy Bitsy never gave up.

The Itsy Bitsy Spider
Made it to the top.

That’s right. I made it all the way up here.
And now, I just realized I’m afraid of heights.
