One side? There are two; Pal-Yat-Chee (E0-VB-3403-1), which you're undoubtedly referring to (indeed, recorded 10 March 1950 but issued about three years later on RCA Victor 20/47-5472) and Fiddle Faddle (E0-VB-3402-1), recorded at the same session but held until being issued in the 1955 RCA Victor Platter Party 45-rpm box set SPD-6 [side 14 band 2]. (I know of no 78 issue of that title.)

Take care,
