[Ads-l] Child's misunderstanding: "the donzerly light"

[W Brewer]

GO'T:  <<  "Jose, can you see by the Donzerly light?"  >>
WB:  One of Bill Dana's bits involved José Jiménez interacting with the
Star Spangled Banner:
Chorus:  Oh, say can you see ...
Jose Jimenez:  Jess, I can see ...
He performed the popular fictional character through the '60. I wonder if
the catch phrase "No way Jose!" wasn't spun off from the reluctant
astronaut skits.
