We can definitely do the instrumental version, as the melody is based on a folk song "On Top Of Old Smokey".
As to the vocal version, the lyrics to the parody version (commonly known as "On Top Of Spaghetti") is copyrighted. The lyrics was written by a folk singer Tom Glazer and first published in 1963. The copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years under U.S. law.
While it's ok to sing the song in a daycare center, the permission is technically required to use Glazer's specific lyrics in some formal or commercial contexts.
