Nature's Engineer Spider Web - Front View

            Walking around the pool in the mornng. Seeing what survived. I think the Jacaranda tree may have. A spider spun its web from little branches of the Jacaranda tree.

There are various versions of the lyrics:

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout.
Down came the rain, and washed the spider out.
Up came the sun, and dried up all the rain,
and the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.

(Some versions have climbed or crawled instead of went.)

The Itsy Bitsy Spider or The Eensy Weensy Spider is sometimes chanted rather than sung. Recitation of the rhyme is often combined with fingerplays representing the words. 

For the first (and last) line, alternately touch the thumb of one hand to the index finger of the other. 

For "Down came the rain" hold both hands up and wiggle the fingers as you lower the hands. 

For "washed the spider out" sweep the hands to the side. 

For the third line bring both hands up and then to the sides to sweep out a semicircle (the sun).

Then wiggle the fingers upwards (to show the rain drying in the sun), and repeat the thumb/index finger movement to indicate the spider climbing up the spout.

An alternative version is:
Eensy Weensy spider climbing up the spout. (I changed Incy to Eensy)
Down came the rain, and washed poor Eensy out.
Up came the sun, and dried up all the rain
And Eensy Weensy spider went climbing up again.
