Spider

Hi, everybody!

In the movie Heartburn, by Jack Nicolson and Myrel Strip, there is a song about a spider. It says something like : The hipsy tipsy spider ...
Is the spelling of "Hipsy tipsy " correct? And what does it exactly mean?

thanks for your help.

I learned it as 'itsy bitsy', which means 'very small': The itsy bitsy spider Went up the water spout; Down came the rain, And washed the spider out. Out came the sun, And dried up all the rain. And the itsy bitsy spider Went up the spout again.

And the itsy bitsy spider
Went up the spout again.

I haven't seen the movie yet, though. I'm waiting for the video. Maybe if they are drunk, they sa
