Thread Name: Lyr Req: Itsy-bitsy spider translations
Subject: Itsy-bitsy spider translations
I'm interested in knowing what versions may be running around out there in other languages of what in American English, at any rate, is called "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" (in DT; ignore "college" verses, they have only the tune in common, and in any event it's a rather generic tune). In Esperanto it's "Eta Petro Araneo" (Little Peter Spider) and I'm wondering if other languages give the arachnid a moniker like we do, or leave him/her anonymous like we do. Many thanks,

Liland
