A sailor went to knee, knee, knee
To see what he could knee, knee, knee
But all that he could knee, knee, knee
Was the bottom of the deep blue knee, knee, knee!
(Sea, sea, sea)

A sailor went to chop, chop, chop
To see what he could chop, chop, chop
But all that he could chop, chop, chop
Was the bottom of the deep blue chop, chop, chop!
(Sea, sea, sea)
(Kne, knee, knee)

Lullaby, and good night
You’re your mother’s delight
Shining angels beside
My darling abide.
Soft and warm is your bed
Close your eyes and rest your head
Soft and warm is your bed
Close your eyes and rest your head.

Sleepyhead, close your eyes
Mother’s right here beside you
I’ll protect you from harm
You will wake in my arms
Guardian angels are near
So sleep on, with no fear
Guardian angels are near
So sleep on, with no fear.

Lullaby, and sleep tight
Hush! My darling is sleeping
On his sheets white as cream
With his head full of dreams
When the sky’s bright with dawn
He will wake in the morning
When noontide warms the world
He will frolic in the sun.

Down came the rain,
Bring you hands down. While you are doing this, wiggle your fingers to simulate rain.

and washed the spider out.
Sweep your hands away from one another while hand palms are pointing towards the floor.

Up came the sun, and dried up all the rain,
Form a circle with your hands (sun), and rise your hands (the sun is rising).
 
and the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.
Repeat step one.

Alternative version:

I hear thunder!
I hear thunder!
Oh! don’t you? Oh! don’t you?
Pitter, patter raindrops,
Pitter, patter raindrops,
I’m wet through!
I’m wet through!

Blow wind, blow
And go, mill, go
That the miller may grind his corn
That the baker may take it
And into bread make it
And bring us a loaf in the morn.
