In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus: Eins, zwei, g'suffa - YouTube video, 3:06 min.

In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus: Eins, zwei, g'suffa - Lyrics
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.

Alta Vista Babel Fish Translation:
"In Munich a Hofbräuhaus is located: One, two, g'suffa.
So some keg runs out there: One, two, g'suffa.
There has some good man: One, two, g'suffa.
Show that he can stand in such a way.
Already early in the morning he began.
And late in the evening he came out.
So beautiful it is in the Hofbräuhaus.

Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. YouTube video, 5:27 min..
