The eensy weensy spider
Climbed up the water spout (crawl fingers upward)
Down came the rain (wiggle fingers down)
And washed the spider out (brush hands to side)
Out came the sun (raise arms above head to form a semicircle)
And dried up all the rain
And the eensy weensy spider (crawl fingers up again)
Climbed up the spout again
