Thanks Nigel, I just found that it was Jim Bachus (of Mr. McGoo fame) that narrated for the cartoon. Although I can't seem to find who the voice was, on the record version (I never saw the cartoon, we didn't have a TV until about 1956/7), but maybe it wasn't Harold Peary (The Great Gildersleeves) from Fibber McGee and Molly radio show.
