Despite their usual lack of any incidental music (the most notable exception being the rinky-tink piano music heard frequently in the "Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties" segments), the Jay Ward studio would occasionally use tunes from production libraries. Here's a short (and incomplete) list of the stock cues I'm aware of them using in their programs.
Also included are tracks initially composed for Ward projects by Dennis Farnon that later wound up as stock music on the Chappell and Conroy libraries, and various stock tracks mostly rooted from the De Wolfe library that replaced certain underscore cues by Frank Comstock when the "Rocky and Bullwinkle" shows were remastered for international syndication in the late 1990s.
Fractured Fairy Tales:
Custard Pie Capers - Phil Green (Capitol Hi-"Q") (also known as “PG-206 Comedy Circus”) (Heard in "The Ugly Duckling" and "Cinderella Returns".)
"Fireman" (LAF-1-2) - Jack Shaindlin (Langlois Filmusic) (Heard in "The Ugly Duckling".)
LAF-72-3 - Jack Shaindlin (Langlois) (Actual name unknown) (Heard throughout “The Ugly Duckling”.)
Peabody’s Improbable History:
Light Movement (ZR-47) (Capitol) (A brief snippet is heard in “Robin Hood”.)
Cues used in the 1997 remasters (all De Wolfe unless noted):
Approaching Monster - Rico Calle (Major Records/Valentino)
Charlie Chaplin Chase - Keith Papworth (Heard in “The Ugly Duckling”, “Ridinghoods Anonymous”, and “The Princess and the Goblins”.)
Tippy Toes - Jack Trombey (Heard in “Sir Galahad.”)
Who Wears the Pants? - Jack Trombey

Fractured Flickers (some of these cues were also released on a cassette of music from the Ward shows sold in the Dudley Do-Right Emporium gift shop under different, more whimisical names. These may be the original names of the tunes, and then given different names when released by Conroy and Chappell):
Bring on the Girls (aka "Game in Mulch Wedlock")

Campus Caper (also used as the theme for the “Rah Rah Woozy” pilot. Also known as "Trumpington Rah Rah Rah")

Honorable Mention:
Hippos and a Stranger - Dennis Farnon (This cue was originally recorded as a stock cue for Ward’s in-house tracking library, and can be heard in the “Fang the Wonder Dog” pilot and some Bullwinkle puppet wraparounds, but was later re-recorded with a fuller orchestra for Conroy BMLP 0025)
