What song is playing on this annoying kid toy?

Toddler Mouse's great-grandparents gave him a toy that loudly plays music when a button is pressed. Can anyone make out the lyrics or identify the song?
The plastic toy looks like a soccer ball encased in a spherical orange cage. When a button a pressed, it lights up, shakes, and LOUDLY plays the same few-second loop over and over. We can't make out the lyrics but it sort of sounds like it could be a clip from a real song. Toddler Mouse of course loves this toy, so the grown-ups in the house are hoping it will become slightly less irritating to us if we can replace the gibberish we're hearing with actual words (long shot, I know).
And no, we don't know why the great-grandparents apparently hate us.

Huh, it almost sounds like an Aqua song. Reminds me of this.
Child survival protip: if you've got some playdoh sitting around you can rub it into the sound holes to dampen out the racket.

It looks like it's a Self-Bouncing Fusion Ball by Lanard, if that helps in the search.

Best answer: Hermione Granger I think you've hit the nail on the head with the artist, but I'm pretty sure the song is "Toy Box - Tarzan & Jane".
I've listened to this song enough times in high school to recognize the identifying lyrics "I will take you for a swing."
It's a weirdly awesome song, hope it helps with tolerating the toy.

I'm just happy to live in a world where there's enough room for more than one Scandinavian bubblegum dance pop group.

Response by poster: Thanks, blueberrypuffin, I can totally hear the "come baby come I will take you for a swing," though I'm still having trouble making out the other lyric (the one I'm assuming is sung by "Jane"). Off to try to match that one up but at least now I have the lyrics and music on hand!
And oh hey, look at all this playdoh we have around here...
