There is a small city in West Texas named Dumas. Phil Harris had a song called "Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas", and more recently I heard one called "I'm Proud to be from Dumas (Pronounced Dum-ass) Texas".

Actually Dumas is in the Texas Panhandle and is pronounced "Doom-us"

Oops, sorry, newbie mistake. I didn't see your original post about the Ding Dong Daddy (from Dumas). (As opposed to Muleshoe).

Dumas also used to have big welcome signs on the roads into town which said "Welcome to Dumas! Home of the Ding Dong Daddies! 5,000 Friendly Folks, and A Few Old Soreheads!"

re: Dumas (Pronounced Dum-ass) Texas".

Almost forgot, when I was there they pronounced it "Doom-as".
