Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And incey wincey spider went up the spout again
Incey wincey spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
The popular children's song Incey Wincey Spider tells the story of a tiny spider who tries to climb a water spout. However, the rain comes pouring down and washes him away. But, the sun eventually comes out and dries up all the rain, allowing the spider to try again and climb up the spout. This song is often used to teach children about perseverance and not giving up in the face of obstacles.
The lyrics also introduce young children to concepts such as cause and effect, as the spider's climbing efforts are thwarted by the rain and then rewarded by the sun. Additionally, the repetition of the song allows children to practice memorization and improve their language skills by learning new words and phrases.
