Just call it a song.

"Ditty" is a demeaning synonym for a song.  Whenever I hear the phrase, "this little ditty," I think, "Call it a song!  Or a tune, melody, or jingle."  When there are better, more dignified words you could use, I don't know why anyone would use a clunky-sounding word like "ditty."
