The Traditional Oktoberfest Song Playlist

While the decades have changed since our beginning, the traditional Oktoberfest songs remain the same. From our favorite German drinking song to a diddy written JUST for our beautiful fest—with our handy song playlist below, you won’t miss an “Ein!” or a “Drei!”

EIN PROSIT!
Ein prosit
Ein prosit
Der Gemutlichkeit
Ein prosit, Ein prosit
Der Gemiitlichkeit
Ein! Zwei! Drei!
…Prost!

 

EDELWEISS
Edelweiss, Edelweiss, ev’ry morning
You greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow, may you bloom and grow
Blossom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

SUCH A HAPPY DAY
Been looking at the sky, for a little while watching the clouds roll by
And I start to smile and as a plane flies past, I give a friendly wave hello
And then I think about you
What a happy day

And I fly, fly, fly, like a pilot
I’m as strong, strong, strong as a lion
I’m as high, high, high as a mountain
In the sky -ay, ay, ay

And I jump, jump, jump like a kangaroo
I swim, swim, swim to be close to you
I shake, shake, shake you by the band
We’ll be friends till the end

This is such a happy day
Sha la la la la
This is such a happy day
Sha la la la la
Hey what a happy day
Sha la la la la
This is such a happy day
Sha la la la la

REPEATED 3 TIMES

This is such a happy day
Sha la la la la
This is such a happy day
