Seville der dago

[Sharon Olson]

My question is whether anyone in this group knows the origin of the riddle:

Seville der dago
Tousin busses inero
Nojo demmer trux
Summit kousin
Summit dux

[It's been around a long time and sometimes is spelled differently. Perhaps it was posted sometime in the past on this site? I'm thinking my father may have seen it in something
like Reader's Digest in the 40s or 50s]

It reads, in regular English,

See, Willy, there they go
Thousand busses in a row
No, Joe, them are trucks
Some with cows and
some with ducks

My grandpa from SD would say this all the time.

I learned this ditty from my grandfather in the late 40's and it was said with a heavy German accent.

I remember reading this (and memorizing it) in the humour page of The Saturday Evening Post circa 1956. To me it resembled Latin which I studied in ninth grade.
