Let's see, I'm replying to this one only, um, seven-plus years late. But anyway.

For JB3 -- for Corinne, JB3's informant -- and for anyone else who's struck out trying to find this song:

It's a phonetic variant title. The song is "Jeanneton," or "Jeanneton Prend Sa Faucille," which is easily found on the web.

Gotta give credit to my wife and ace researcher Amba Lee on this one. She, thinking back to years of French, realized that "Janeton" is not natively a French name -- even though I, thinking back to similar years of French, insisted it "could be" -- and going by sound alone, tried "Jeanneton" and found it.

It's actually a not uncommon French children's song. Midis or MP3s of the tune are less common, but can be found on the web as well.

Go Francaises!
