Here are the tabs to Itsy Bitsy Spider:

The itsy bitsy spider climed up the water spout -7 -7 7 -8 -8 7 -7 7 -8 -7

Down came the rain and washed the spider out 6 6 -6 -7 -7 -6 6 -6 -7 6

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain -4 -4 6 6 6 -6 -7 -7 -7 -6 6 -6 -7 6

And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again

Alternative third line used in some versions (including the one I learned as a kid!):
