I found a reference that sais Sterling Holloway played Hercameyer the
Lonely Doll on Captain Kangaroo, and that he recorded a version of the
song.

This guy  http://www.kiddierekordking.com/selling Kiddie78s@aol.com is
probaby your best bet for getting a copy, I recommend you contact him!

just came across this after a random google search on this very topic.
Sterling Holloway, who was the voice narrating and singing the song
"Herkimer the Lonely Doll" was also the voice of Winnie the Pooh in
the early Disney releases (1966-1982). If I remember right, the song's
lyrics were acted out by a puppet in silhouette, something about how
he is neglected and unchosen by the children, but saves the (store?)
from a fire in the end. Interesting and haunting story.
