NOT an Eensy Weensy Spider

There may be some discussion about the terminology but when I learned it the song was Eensy Weensy Spider. Apparently it has evolved to either Itsy Bitsy or Incy Wincy (if you live in the UK) since I first learned it the year after dinosaurs became extinct. (don't read that part out loud Mary!)

Edit: including into the songtitle challenge also with this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80X3kFiHVw8
You are hysterical! I did read it to Jerry! 🤣😂😅

I thought that I knew it by your title, but after rolling itsy bitsy around on my tongue I'm not sure that wasn't the way I learned it.
Fun capture of the spider lit up for the Halloween season.

Some may do a variation, but as far as I know it's always been eency-weency spider- with hand motions too!

Now I'm confused--how did I first learn it? Did you do the hand motions with the song? Love your photo.

I don't know the title, but I do know that you have a fabulous spider there! I love it on black.

This one will never climb up inside a drainpipe

Has Incy wincy been drinking? It appears to be legless.

Looks like Eensy-weensy might have trouble getting inside a water spout, but with most of his legs in the front he just might make be able to drag himself up the outside!

Great image, the spider pops against the black background.

No matter what we say we can all do the hand motions.

Yes, I remember singing “eensy weensy.” Had forgotten that, as now “itsy bitsy” is what you hear. Don’t worry. I wouldn’t repeat your ill-considered phrase to the dinos. Is this a giant inflatable? It does look menacing against the dark background.

i would need a giant swatter for this! 🤣 aces!

@mcsiegle thanks for keeping me in good graces with the dinos. It is a very big inflatable and thanks Mary
@summerfield thank you Vikki I figured someone wouldn't like it

Katy... When I see this picture I want the spiders legs to be fingers. I think you can do it. 😏
