Never mind, it was “plunk”, as I now know thanks to the YouTube link.

“Plunk your magic twanger Froggie!” Andy Divine

[Chode]

LOL!!!

[Tucker39]

Smilin’ Ed McConnell and “The Buster Brown Gang” with “Midnight” the Cat - “Ni-i-ice”, and “Froggy the Gremlin” - “Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!” Sproi-oi-oing!

And, yes...I am quite long in the tooth! I heard that program in about 1944 - 45, around noon on Saturdays, on a battery radio (because our farming community in south central PA did not get electrified by REA until 1946). I was 5 years old and remember it well.

Was it??

“I’m Buster Brown,
I live in a shoe”

??Then what??

(Bourbon has killed many of my brain cells)

Something about “my dog Tyghe who lives in there too”.

[MeshugeMikey]

I was born in 1946, and listened on an old Brown Bakelite "plastic"..or rubber [?} tube radio..which l;ooked something like this one

Amos N Andy was a radio show back then too, as i remember

[Intolerant in NJ]

I heard that program in about 1944 - 45, around noon on Saturdays...absolutely, after a whole Saturday morning of great listening including "No School Today with Big Jon and Sparkie" (and the "Teddy Bear's Picnic"), "Let's Pretend", and "Grand Central Station"...according to "The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio" (Dunning), McConnell started the show in 1944 on radio and took it to television in 1950; he died in 1955 and Andy Devine kept the program going until 1960....

I got shoes
You got shoes
Why everybody's got to have shoes
And there's only one kinda of shoes for me
Good ole Buster Brown Shoes......

[Tucker39]

(Sound of a dog barking). Then a young boy’s voice says, “That’s my dog “Tighe.” He lives in shoe. I’m Buster Brown. Look for me in there, too!”

I may not remember what I had for breakfast today, but I remember those old radio programs as though it were yesterday.

And Froggy in his gravelly voice used to repeat himself all the time, as in “I’m going to sing my song now, I will I will” - I forgot to include “The Billie Burke Program” and ‘Land of the Lost” in the list of Saturday morning programs - I was listening in the Philly suburbs, not too far from where you were in south central Pennsylvania - I actually used to make up excuses to get out of going when friends would call up wanting me to “come over and play” so that I could spend Saturday mornings curled up in front of the old Sears Silverton radio console listening to those shows - I’ve found such contentment only rarely since.....
