Die kleine Kneipe
Peter Alexander Lyrics
Der Abend senkt sich auf die Dächer der Vorstadt
Die Kinder am Hof müssen heim
Die Krämersfrau fegt das Trottoir vor dem Laden
Ihr Mann trägt die Obstkisten rein
Der Tag ist vorüber
Die Menschen sind müde
Doch viele gehen nicht gleich nach Haus
Denn drüben klingt aus einer offenen Türe
Musik auf den Gehsteig hinaus
Die kleine Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da wo das Leben noch lebenswert ist
Dort in der Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da fragt dich keiner was du hast oder bist
Die Postkarten dort an der Wand in der Ecke
Das Foto vom Fußballverein
Das Stimmengewirr
Die Musik aus der Jukebox
All das ist ein Stückchen Daheim
Du wirfst eine Mark in den Münzautomaten
Schaust anderen beim Kartenspiel zu
Und stehst mit dem Pils in der Hand an der Theke
Und bist gleich mit jedem per du
Die kleine Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da wo das Leben noch lebenswert ist
Dort in der Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da fragt dich keiner was du hast oder bist
Man redet sich heiß und spricht sich von der Seele
Was einem die Laune vergällt
Bei Korn und bei Bier findet mancher die Lösung
Für alle Probleme der Welt
Wer Hunger hat
Der bestellt Würstchen mit Kraut
Weil es andere Speisen nicht gibt
Die Rechnung, die steht auf dem Bierdeckel drauf
Doch beim Wirt hier hat jeder Kredit
Die kleine Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da wo das Leben noch lebenswert ist
Dort in der Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da fragt dich keiner was du hast oder bist
Die kleine Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da wo das Leben noch lebenswert ist
Dort in der Kneipe in unserer Straße
Da fragt dich keiner was du hast oder bist

To all of the Germans out there... Some of my father's best memories were singing with Peter, in the Hitler Youth. Some of the toughest times he had were made easier by making jokes together, and entertaining all around. Apparently he could do such a perfect impersonation of my father, that even my father thought it was a recording. Dedicated to Hans Dieter Osswald, born Hamburg, Germany 24/04/1927 , died 20/06/2008 Geelong, Australia. Live life to the full, and be kind to others, you never know the impact you will have, what your legacy will be.

@Mike Kirschnick My German language is virtually non existent, however, it brings back fond memories of having a beer at a bar in Hamburg in 2004.

Thanks for your words. And respect and a military salut to you and your father from Germany!

Peter Alexander hatte Lieder die man nie vergessen wird. Jeder Schlager wurde ein Hit. Er war seiner Zeit weit voraus. Ich hoffe das sein Sohn dass auch zu schätzen weiss.
Wünsche ihn alles gute , er hatte wirklich eine tolle Familie . Peter Alexander ist nach seinen Tod immer noch der Große ! Schade das es Ihn nicht mehr gibt. Die Musik von
Ihn bleibt den Fans Gotsei dank .

Ein wunderschönes Lied, ich muss an meinen Freund denken, der noch so eine kleine Kneipe hatte und dieses Jahr im März viel zu verstorben ist.
Die schöne Zeit bei und mit ihm kommt nie mehr zurück.
