Mine was=The eency weency spider r some calls it-the inchy,winchy spider.
I still sing it to the kids even if they are "GIANTS" already.
But I changed the words into:
sang to the tune of the eency weency spider while poking my pointe finger to the kids tummy and sides and neck to tickle:
The eency weency spidong todong todong todong dong...LOL.
Life is great!Enjoy it with the kids.

My Fav for my kids and now for my grandkids is hush little baby.... I always change the word from baby to the name of the one I am singing it too.
"hush little Michael don't say a word, mommas gonna buy you a mocking bird, if that mocking bird wont sing, mommas gonna buy you a diamond ring...."
I have made up song for my kids and grand kids for years using thier name makes it specail. they dont care if I could sing or not, it was a fun way to connect with them, distract them from doing something I didnt want them to or help them relax and fall asleep.

Teddy Bear Teddy Bear Off to school.
I liked it then when I was in Junior KG , love it even now and sing it along with my daughter. She won a prize in her Jr. KG for reciting this poem.
I never liked hickory dickory dock and Humpty Dumpty at all.
