This commercial is from 1972-1974. I remember seeing it all over afternoon TV back then.

I sort of remember this being from the 70s. If it played in the 60s, I wouldnt have remembered it, was too young. My friends and I used to sing this.

I remember this song but I don't remember this commercial. Either DC TV stations played this in the early 70's & I just remembered the song or this was a song that as kids we sung without knowing where it came from.

I'm glad I finally found this. I didn't find this when I looked before.
