Singing it at weddings contravenes the gedoylim ban on such sexy music. A more appropriate and traditional nursery rhyme from the 17th century (and therefore being musically kosher) is 'London bridge is broken down, Dance over my Lady Lee, London bridge is broken down, With a gay ladye. How shall we build it up again? Dance over my Lady Lee, How shall we build it up again? With a gay ladye.' ‘Itsy Bitsy spider’ is too modern having been written some 40 years ago.

‘London bridge is broken down,
Dance over my Lady Lee,

How shall we build it up again?
Dance over my Lady Lee,
How shall we build it up again?
With a gay ladye.’

On another note - I'd think it would be demoralizing to use the term "Itsy Bitsy" at a gay wedding. I don’t see how it isn’t analogous, actually.
