Went up the water spout.

Went up the spout again.

The itsy-bitsy spider
D7 G
Spun a spiral web

Caught a grasshopper

Whose life began to ebb

Sucked up the juices

And grew a size that day
So the itsy-bitsy spider

Rebuilt the web array

Laid a clutch of eggs

Out hatched the spiderlings

Each with all 8 legs

And ballooned into the sky
So the itsy bitsy spider
D7 G
Was happy then to die
