do spiders crawl or climb?

"The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout" or "The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout"?

I always thought it was "crawl".

Actually, singing it in my head.. I think I learned it as "went up the water spout"

I wonder if that's the original lyrics from 1962.
