Toddler song finding

A zoo a zoo a zoo - is what song? (Toddler song request.)
My toddler (age 2.5) requested that we play a song for her today. We had been playing the new Bluey Album, and I thought she was requesting the track "Doo Ba Zoo" - not the one she was thinking of.
I asked her to sing it, and she sang "a zoo a zoo a zoo" , no other lyrics. Hard to convey in text but a rapid cadence, almost no pause between words.
She said "the stripey one, with the colours." Pink, yellow and red.
We use Google Music and generally listen to the Bluey albums plus the other songs that turn up on the children's music playlist.
I've also had some Eurovision music playing too.
What song is this? Uncertain guesses welcome! I've told her I'm trying my best to figure out what it is and find it.

Best answer: Have you been listening to the most recent Eurovision songs? The album cover is yellow with stripes and the winning song is Tattoo. The chorus splits the words "you" and "tattoo" into three syllables that could possibly be heard as "a zoo" if you squint hard enough.

Zoo Be Zoo Be Zoo by Sophie Loren? - (oblig Mad Men Version)
Zoo Zoo by Bisquit - just in case your toddler has been listening to Italian Euro disco.
Zoo Zoo Zoobie Zooby - in case she has been listening to Bollywood greats.

Could it be "Zoom, zoom, zoom, we're going to the moon"? It's currently a top 3 fave with my similar-aged kiddo's daycare class so I hear it A LOT, and there is definitely a version that sounds like "a zoom a zoom a zoom."

Response by poster: Eumachia L F - jumping to the chorus was what worked- "YES" she said. Also good pick of the album cover! She confirmed that's the one.
I'm a little blown away because I didn't think we'd actually listened to Tattoo all the way through when she was awake!
