Copyright Question

There is a polka song that has in it's lyrics:

 

"In Heaven there is no beer"

"That's why we drink it here"

 

I am 76 years old and it was already being sung when I was a teenager.  Probably next to impossible to get permission (if I need it) to put this on a pattern.

 

Asking wiser people for your thoughts.

 

Thanks,  jerry

The Polka may have origins in the inscription over the doorway to the dining hall of a German or Austrian Monastery.

 

Though, if you look at copyright listings is says Ralf Siegel copyrighted it in 1959.   That's a long way from expiring.

Jerry, you're 76 years old. If you create the pattern and share it, by the time the legal dopeheads get to you they will have to dig you up to sue you. Go ahead and create the pattern. I'll never tell anyone where it came from.

 

OK, I agree with Len, for personal use it's no trouble. You just can't make $1,234,432,973 off of it.

Or just use

 

"If in Heaven there is no beer"

"That is why we will drink ours here"

 

or something like that :-)  seriously though, it's not the title of the song correct? I don't see how this would be any different than any of the other "sayings" that are sold.
