You could try finding someone who has the appropriate literature, or you
could try contacting ASCAP and/or BMI, who should be able to direct you 
to the right place.  Last time I looked, neither was well-represented on
the Web, so this might necessitate a few international calls to the USA.

I did this once in a previous life and never did find the right place, 
but that might have been merely a case of insufficient persistence on 
my part coupled with a song for which nobody seems to know who is the 
copyright owner (Old McDonald's Farm).

With the whole brouhaha over lyrics.ch, you'll want to tread very, very 
carefully around anything having to do with lyrics...
