Also true in American English. You have two things wrong:
1. The rhyme calls beans "the musical fruit".
2. "Toot" is relevant in that context, being a way you can describe blowing a horn.[1] But obviously, the primary reason for using the word "toot" there is that it rhymes with fruit, not that it's the normal word for farting.
[1] Or sometimes another instrument; there's a tongue twister that starts "A tutor who tooted the flute tried to tutor two tooters to toot."
