As in Itsy Bitsy, Teeney Weeney Yellow Pokerdot Bikini? Totally a 50's song. The rhyme predates that by centuries! :-)

Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini was released in 1960 and has nothing at all to do with Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Also, did you know that Itsy Bitsy Spider was released as a song once?

There are a few versions of Incy Wincy Spider on the internet, here is one http://www.britishcouncil.org/kids-songs-incy-wincy.htm

It is said in a sing-song voice, so often used as as song.

The only time I heard the expression Itsy Bitsy was in that song, not used in the UK.
