old bar wine advertising sign

Mar 21, 2007 5 Replies

About 40 years ago a local tavern had a wall plaque with a funny little rhyme. It was an advertising piece for some cheap bar wine I think. In part it went something like this: "see joe deer day go, a tousin buzzes in a row." "No, dos aint buzzes, dos is trucks, summit cowsin, summit ______"?



Any old tavern owners remember this? Or what the product name was? I want to say Bevo?



Local being.... Bremerton? Sounds more like mid- to northern Wisconsin, or maybe Yooper to my ears.

If you search around things like this come up....

Then there was "Seevilly, dair dago. Tousinbuses inarow. Nojo, demstrux, summit cowsin summit dux." Translation - "See, Willy, there they go. A thousand buses in a row. No, Joe, them's trucks. Some with cows, and some with ducks." Hey, don't blame me. I didn't write it, I just read it about a jillion times when I was a kid. My dad loved to eat at Earl Abel's.

Seville der dego tousan buses inaro nojo demis trux summit cowsin summit dux

The version I know goes:

Si, Senora, dere dago; Forte lorres inaro. Demarnt lorres, derar trux; Fulla cowsan shipan dux!
