Itsy-Bitsy Akavish

Ella was singing in the car the other day and I could tell she was mostly singing the Itsy-Bitsy Spider, but something about it sounded weird and I thought that she was just mixing up songs or something.  Then Addy chimes in and tells me that "akavish" is spider in Hebrew and that Ella was singing the version of the song that they learn at school.  It is mostly English, but they change a few words.  Addy sang the whole song for me and it goes like this...

The itsy-bitsy akavish went up the waterspout
Down came the geshem and washed the akavish out
Up came the shemesh and dried up all the geshem
And the itsy-bitsy akavish went up the spout again.

 

It was super cute to hear Ella sing this rendition, and it was equally as cute that my 5 year old was translating for me!
