Itsy Bitsy Spider
Carly Simon · Coming Around Again [1987]
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
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 know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's comin' around again
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
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
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 know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's comin' around again
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

Carly Simon's "Itsy Bitsy Spider" appears on her 1987 album *Coming Around Again*, marking a return to her early pop sensibilities after a period of exploring more mature themes. While often associated with children's music, Simon's rendition carries a distinct adult perspective and melodic sophistication characteristic of her work from the 1970s. The track exemplifies her ability to blend catchy hooks with lyrical depth, showcasing her enduring influence on the adult contemporary genre. Released during a time when she was revisiting her classic material, the song stands as a testament to her versatility as a songwriter and performer, bridging the gap between her iconic hits and her later catalog.
