Under the Anheuser Bush

"Under the Anheuser Bush" is a beer garden song commissioned by the Anheuser-Busch brewing company in 1903.

Sterling, the title contains a pun on the surnames of the company's founders ("Busch" is the German word for "Bush").Published by the Harry Von Tilzer Music Pub.

[3] The line "come and have a stein or two" is backed by the first bar of the German folk standard "Oh du lieber Augustin".

[2] In the MGM movie Meet Me in St. Louis, set in 1903, the orchestra at the Christmas dance plays an instrumental version.

The song was adapted for a British music hall version called "Down at the Old Bull and Bush", written for Florrie Forde and made popular by her.
