Unless it's a different version, the playground song starts with a simple note sequence that is unsurprisingly found elsewhere, for example the Beatles' "She Loves You."
Joshua Rifkin's superb "Baroque Beatles Book" links this, in turn, with the opening notes of a Bach quodlibet - sorry, can't give title or BWV number unless I do a loft search.
