[Moosepathian]

This song was used every once in a while on Captain Kangaroo. In it, Daniel Boone is telling about his close run-in with a tribe of Indians on the warpath. He hides in a hollow log and says how a mouse in the log kept squeaking while the Indians are having a pow-wow over a campfire. The Indians finally get annoyed with the squeaking and kick the log down a hill. That's how Daniel escapes and the last line is his saying: "And that's what you call escaping by a narrow squeak!"
The song is sung by Bing Crosby and it was originally part of a Christmas album, strangely enough, called "An Axe, an Apple, and a Buckskin Jacket" about a pioneer boy who dreams of visits on Christmas eve from Paul Bunyan, Johnny Appleseed, and Daniel Boone while his parents are away to town. the entire album is available, finally, but only as an MP3 download. (I saw it at Amazon.) They've changed the name to "How Lovely Is Christmas" which is one of the songs on the album and really quite lovely.
Captain Kangaroo used to run the song with still pictures illustrating Daniel Boone's adventure.
Hey, Merry Christmas all!
