This song was used as the musical background in a rare existing episode of Captain Kangaroo from 1960.

Trying to think of obscure songs to look up, I came up with this one. I didn't expect to find it. I haven't heard this since the days of Uncle Mac! I am thrilled! Thank you so much for posting!

@suzie106 Oh my but someone is showing their age! Didn't we have fun listening in those long gone days. Danny K., with some of his Hans C.Andasn., funny songs, kids that wrote in for a bit of classical music, (yeah right). we got to listen to it all though. Some great stuff.
