Let's make this a more international affair.
Track #19 on the 1993 Goobers: A Collection of Kids Songs CD has the song "Ku Kai Mani" the singer Naofumi Ishimaru says that this song is sung by some Malaysian children.
Here is the recording:

The words are very similar to the "Qui Quay Quo" as sung by Haruo.
