Dear Brudenell,
Here is the information I assembled.
Chick Chick Chicken lyrics:
“Chick chick chick chick chicken
Lay a little egg for me
Chick chick chick chick chicken
I want one for my tea
I haven't had one since breakfast
And now it's half past three
So, chick chick chick chick chicken
Lay a little egg for me”
At the “Tweenies Website” you can hear the song “Chick Chick Chicken”
in MP3 or Real Audio, although it is not sung by Natalie Casey.

At the Best Bits of Britcom website, I located a real audio recording
of Dawn French as Mrs. Hat singing “Chick, chick, chicken” in the Mrs.
Hat & Mrs. Red episode from the TV program “Murder Most Horrid”.

=============================================
The song “Groovy Baby” by Microbe appears to be a studio creation by
David Cash.
“David Cash went on to present two regular shows for RTL Radio
Luxembourg, then he joined BBC Radio 1 at the launch, originally
presenting former BBC Light Programme's lunchtime shows Monday Monday,
Pop Inn, Parade of the Pops, Pop North. He had a hit in 1969 when he
released a single 'Groovy Baby', under the name 'Microbe' (a character
from his afternoon programme).

Offshore Radio also attributes “Groovy Baby” to Dave Cash.
“After medical problems forced him to leave Radio London in 1966, Dave
hosted some shows on Radio Luxembourg. When Radio One opened the
following year, he was one of the initial line-up of presenters. He
enjoyed a Top Thirty hit Groovy Baby under the alias of “Microbe”, a
character from his afternoon programme. He also fronted a television
show, The Dave Cash Radio Programme, and, with Tommy Vance and Kenny
Everett, presented on Radio Monte Carlo International.”

Groovy Baby was “probably a studio creation. This was a gimmick disc.
The singers on the 'A' side have baby-like high voices. The flip side
was an instrumental credited to The Microbop Ensemble.”
