This is a Krishna Bhajan.. A very simple two line one, but sooo lovely. The best rendition I have ever heard is by the amazing Playback singer, Smt. K.S. Chitra :

This is a very simple bhajan that kids can learn very easily. I have tried this out on my 5 yr old and the one place I see trouble, is remembering that the first line has 3 Gopals and next line has 4 Gopals. But, if you get your kid to repeat this bhajan frequently (Practice, Practice, Practice :) ), I am sure that your kid will get the hang of the tune. And then, it will not be required to remember how many Gopals are in a line :)
Lyrics:
Chitta Chora Yashoda Ke Bal, Navanitha Chora Gopal
Chitta Chora Yashoda Ke Bal, Navanitha Chora Gopal
Gopal Gopal Gopal Govardhana Dhara Gopal
Gopal Gopal Gopal Govardhana Dhara Gopal
Gopal Gopal Gopal Gopal Govardhana Dhara Gopal
Gopal Gopal Gopal Gopal Govardhana Dhara Gopal
(Faster)
Chitta Chora Yashoda Ke Bal Navanitha Chora Gopal
Gopal Gopal Gopal Govardhana Dhara Gopal
Gopal Gopal Gopal Gopal Govardhana Dhara Gopal
Gopal Gopal Gopal Gopal Govardhana Dhara Gopal
(Slow Chorus)
Chitta Chora Yashoda Ke Bal Navanitha Chora Gopal
Translation:
Krishna is the stealer of the devotee's heart.
As the child of Yashoda, He stole butter and He held
aloft the Govardhana mountain
