I don't think it exist.
Grew up with Yiddish as my first language and we never had a Yiddish version of this.

Oh right! Koo koo, I forgot about that!
My grandparents said "koo kooch", but it's not yiddish...

Did anybody else play "Potchie Potchie Fiselach" with their parents or grandparents? Please help me remember the words. Is this right?
Potchie Potchie Fiselach
Mama's baken kichelach
Daddy (or Tatty's) kafen shichelach
Zie gezunt in your bekelach!

I think it's clappy clappy little feet (some people substitute hentelach--hands) and you clap along
Mommy's baking little kichel (cookies)
Daddy's buying shoes
Good health on your little cheeks! (you pick up the baby's hands and bring them to his face at the end)
I looked and there are some old threads on this one. Seems like there are also variations on the words.
