Okay. Now I'm curious.

(This is all beer_good_foamy's fault.)

Is it a regional thing? A generational thing? Why all the confusion?

It's hämä-hämähäkki! :D

(when your word for spider is 'hämähäkki', you don't need itsy-bitsys or incy-wincys to fill out the line)

Also, is Finnish the only language where the rhyme has more than one verse? Because we have four - two about the spider, one about an ant and one about a cricket.

Uh, we kinda sing one about the spider climbing up a tree at playgroup, but I'd never ever heard it before and I don't know half the words:

Incy Wincy spider was climbing up a tree
Down came the snow and made poor Incy freeze
Out came the sun and melted all the snow
So Incy Wincy spider had another go.

No, actually it turns out I do know the words.

*jawdrop*

The very idea that there could be another verse actually just shattered my brain.
