I also have the Phil Harris version; it ranked much higher in 1950--#10 on 
Whitburn list--while Godfrey's version was way down at 255.

Hi Walter,

I believe you are referring to a song called 'The Thing'--done originally by
Arthur Godfrey.  I believe it was done by a number of others as well.  I
have the  song at relatively low bit rate, but listenable.
By the way, if you listen, you should tell that the chorus line that is
rendered:
'Get out of here with that (thump Te Thump)  would find the S-O-B substitute
quite suitable.  This was considered quite bawdy in 1950--the year of the
song's release.  But I remember my father saying years later, that this is
probably what they meant.
