[Intro — solo distorted violin, deep bass pulse, teasing female vocal] Down came the rain… And there I go again. One little spider. One bad habit. Ha! [Verse 1 — rhythmic, playful, conversational] I know the way, I know the climb Been up that wall a hundred times I see the clouds, I feel the rain Still put my little feet back in the game They say I’m stubborn, say I’m blind I say I’ve got a one-track mind One more inch, one more try Funny how I never ask myself why [Pre-Chorus — stop-start drums, rising violin] Up, up, up Here comes trouble Down, down, down On the double Should’ve learned Should’ve known But that little spider’s going home [Chorus — explosive, bass-heavy, catchy melodic hook] Itsy bitsy, here we go Climbing where I shouldn’t go Down comes the rain Washes me away Sun comes out I’m back the very next day Oh, itsy bitsy Can’t you see? That little spider looks a lot like me Up that spout Down that drain Here I go again! [Post-Chorus — bass and violin call-and-response] Up, up! (Here I go!) Down, down! (Told you so!) Round and round Again, again Little spider Big bad plans! [Verse 2 — funky bass, gritty guitar, mischievous vocal] I could take the easy road Find a little place to call my own But there’s something ’bout that climb Gets me every single time I like the danger, like the view Like the things I’m not supposed to do Call it foolish, call it fate I call it fashionably late [Pre-Chorus — dramatic violin climbing higher] Up, up, up Here comes trouble Down, down, down On the double One more fall One more spin Guess who’s crawling back again? [Chorus — fuller harmonies, driving drums] Itsy bitsy, here we go Climbing where I shouldn’t go Down comes the rain Washes me away Sun comes out I’m back the very next day Oh, itsy bitsy Can’t you see? That little spider looks a lot like me Up that spout Down that drain Here I go again! [Instrumental Break — theatrical distorted electric violin solo, classical runs over deep elastic funk bass, pounding drums] [Bridge — stripped bass, dramatic pauses, female vocal with attitude] Maybe it’s the climb Maybe it’s the fall Maybe I just like Having it all Maybe I’m a fool Maybe I’m insane (Pause) But I hear the thunder… And I love the rain! [Final Chorus — explosive full band, layered female harmonies] Itsy bitsy, here we go Climbing where I shouldn’t go Down comes the rain Washes me away Sun comes out I’m back the very next day Oh, itsy bitsy Can’t you see? That little spider looks a lot like me Up that spout Down that drain Here I go again! [Outro — instruments stop one by one, mischievous female vocal, single violin slide] Down came the rain… (Pause) Well, look who’s back. Ha!
