Those are the phonetic spellings of French words from the children's song "Alouette" (lark or skylark), which was used to teach French words for the parts of the body in some areas.
The song describes plucking the feathers (plumerai) from the various anatomical features of a lark, the point being to clean a dead bird before cooking and eating it (this is glossed over for kids).
The repeated chorus is "Alouette, gentille alouette, Alouette, je te plumerai" which means "Skylark, gentle skylark, I will pluck you" (French verb plumer).
This sounds like "ah-loo-eh-tuh, jon-teel ah-loo-eh-tuh, ah-loo-eh-tuh, juhr tay ploo-mer-ay." The body parts plucked move progressively from the head (tête) to the beak, eye, neck, wings, legs, and tail. The French words for human body parts are the same as those on the bird.
