Eensy, Weensy Spider

The song was first published "in 1910, as a song for adults in "Camp and Camino in lower California" with the words 'blooming, bloody' instead of 'itsy bitsy'". It later appeared in other publications of children's nursery rhymes with the words changed to 'itsy bitsy,' a more kid-friendly alternative. It became popular through repetition and was likely passed down through friends and family as a children's nursery rhyme.
