Wat Wat has no meaning.
Now let me explain the meaning. Wat is just a suffix from the words lagaawat, banaawat, etc., which would respectively mean applies, makes. And -wat is nothing but the part of the word that decides the tense of the verb. Like -s in plays, eats and sings, like -ta hoon in khata hoon, peeta hoon in Hindi. Here the lyricist has used it nicely to rhyme a few verbs. This way of speaking where such words with -wat are used is from an Eastern UP dialect of Hindi, guess Braj bhasha.

Babaji ka Thullu Meaning
First, the meaning, and then, the etymology, detail, etc.
Babaji ka Thullu here means 'nothing'. A negative, comical nothing actually. Negative in the sense that Babaji ka Thullu is a nothing where you had expected something, or should have got something - something good, positive for you - but you got nothing instead. And comical because that's how it's used by Kapil Sharma, who invented the term, and now by others as well. In a way Babaji ka Thullu shows ironies where one gets nothing.
Now, let's get a bit literal (as though there is something to get literal here, all we'll get is babaji ka thullu).
The word Thullu here has no meaning. Babaji literally means grandfather, but is used to address old men with respect. It's also used to saints etc., and sometimes there may be opium/cannabis smokers among saints, somewhat like hippies. Here it's more like a saint only, though it doesn't add anything to the meaning really.

It is also said that the word thullu is used instead of Ghanta, which, though fine in meaning [ghanta literally means a big metal bell with a clapper inside, and makes a high pitched noise when rung], has a slang meaning these days which is penis. Ghanta is also used to mean 'nothing' these days, exactly the same as 'babaji ka thullu'.
By the way, one small but important thing here, since Kapil's 'sign' of babaji ka thullu looks a lot like a snake. Babaji ka thullu doesn't really have anything to do with a snake directly at least.
The adult part: Ghanta is a word that is sometimes used for a pen*s, and babaji's pen*s, which apparently just hangs, doing nothing, like a ghanta, and hence the name. So if you keep counting x=y and y=z like mathematics [which isn't exactly simple maths here, it's more literature, or maybe pulp fiction ;)], then you could say thullu means pen*s, but that's not simply so. However, all wouldn't agree with me, and some would even argue that a pen*s is also called a snake and hence the thullu's sign is a snake, as a comment does too. Well, that's for you to decide for yourself. For me, Babaji ka Thullu means.. well, babaji ka thullu!

Tattad Tattad Meaning
No, I was not going to write this post. But when I got a request from our Uzbek follower Said, and then I got one more comment asking for the meaning of the words, I decided to say it out loud.
Tattad Tattad doesn't mean anything.
On second thoughts, I wondered why someone would even name the song like that. I mean it was okay when Dhatad Tatad was a song, because the words were spoken properly and there wasn't any phrase more prominent in the song, but this could simply be titled as Raam ji ki chaal dekho. Maybe SLB has some good reason behind this, that average mortals like us aren't able to understand.
