Maxl Graf (1933-1996) - folk actor and singer - wrote the famous song
"There is a Hofbräuhaus in Munich",
... which isn't just a sing-along hit at the Oktoberfest. If you hear this title in the festival tent or in the Hofbräuhaus, then sing along! Here is the German text:
(Below you will find an English translation of the song lyrics)
Da, wo die grüne Isar fließt,
Wo man mit Grüß Gott dich grüßt,
Liegt meine schöne Münch'ner Stadt,
Die ihresgleichen gar nicht hat.
Wasser ist billig, rein und gut,
Nur verdünnt es unser Blut,
Schöner sind Tropfen gold'nen Wein's,
Aber am schönsten ist eins:
In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Da läuft so manches Fäßchen aus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Da hat so manche braver Mann:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Gezeigt was er so vertragen kann
Schon früh am Morgen fing er an
Und spät am Abend kam er heraus
So schön ist's im Hofbräuhaus.
Wenn auch so manche deutsche Stadt
Sehenswürdigkeiten hat,
Eins gibt es nirgendwo wie hier:
Das ist das Münchener Bier.
Wer dieses kleine Lied erdacht
Hat so manche lange Nacht
Über dem Münchener Bier studiert
Und hat es gründlich probiert.
In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Da läuft so manches Fäßchen aus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Da hat so manche braver Mann:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa
Gezeigt was er so vertragen kann
Schon früh am Morgen fing er an
Und spät am Abend kam er heraus
So schön ist's im Hofbräuhaus.
