We don't sing, "The incy wincy spider" or "An incy wincy spider" but "Incy Wincy spider climbed up the water spout; Down came the rain and washed poor Incy out." - it's her name.

Another point of contention, then. I thought it was 'down came the rain and washed the

out.'

Exactly, if 'itsy bitsy' is a description of the spider, that's what you'd say, whereas we say her name again.
