Itsy Bitsy Spider Lyrics

(Carly Simon, based on the nursery rhyme)

(Chorus)
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


I believe in love
And who knows where or when

But it's comin' around again

(Chorus)
I know nothin?stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's comin' around again

(Chorus)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
