Here is the song she was referencing High Hopes on Captain Kangaroo. There were 2 versions I remember seeing, one in 1959 and this one, although I am unsure of the date for this version. I remember well the version 64 years ago and exactly where I was and what I was doing as a 10-year-old kid. The other 1959 version had the "It had a little cartoon where the trees would suck down into the ground!" that Merrilee mentioned.
