I can't seem to find it anywhere else, but what does cou-couche panier mean?

I've been listening to older French music for a while now, and one song in particular, Cou-couche Panier by Gillian Hills, doesn't seem to have a good translation anywhere that I could find. While I'm here I would also like to ask for a translation of "pa-patte." Thanks.

It’s just how you talk to dogs, like baby talk but for dogs.

« coucouche panier » = « couche panier » which means « couche-toi dans le panier », basically.

Pa-patte just means patte, but we say pa-patte to dogs, it’s « cuter » I guess.
