  I was interested in this 'tsuru' too. Looks like Urban Dictionary actually has a decent answer:
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tsurupettan
  
  つるつる is a mimetic adverb meaning 'smooth, sleek, slick, slippery', so I guess this might be where the ツル comes from?
  
  There's a sentence in the Tatoeba database where つるつる is used for smooth heads (as in baldness):

  Hmm, I just noticed that the answer on Urban Dictionary has the exact phrase your wrote: 'Pettan, pettan, tsurupettan!' ...strange coincidence?
  
  I should also probably mention that I mean answer #2 on the Urban Dictionary link. There's more than one answer on the page... I'm not on about that stupid first answer... :P

  Ah, I've heard that song before actually! Makes sense now. I never even thought about what the lyrics were back when I heard it... xD
