What does さっさ mean?
「さっさ」 does **not** have any meanings; It is just a common 囃子言葉{はやしことば}.

囃子言葉 is a nonsense/meaningless refrain used in certain songs for the purpose
of keeping a good rhythm.

For instance, listen to this well-known children's song:

and you will notice that about half of the lyrics is 囃子言葉.

Finally, this 「さっさ」 has absolutely nothing to do with the 「さっさ」 discussed in
[this recent
Q&A](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/65995/distinction-
between-%e6%97%a9%e9%80%9f-and-%e3%81%95%e3%81%a3%e3%81%95%e3%81%a8).
