The subtitles are very, very close, they only shift a few words around to make it rhyme in both German and English. The major one is "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok." is clearly substituted for the rhyme, the German line translates to "I'm a lumberjack and I feel strong." For the record, their German is really, really good for something they learned for a skit.
I believe it is dubbed, you can see how the lip sync doesn't quite match for a few moments, but they did sing in German on set so it's dubbed with the same words. It's a studio audio recording since recording singing out in the open at this time would have been challenging.
Oh yes, but in a studio, not recorded at the same time as the images, so he's dubbing himself after the fact to get better audio. And since it's hard to match lip sync when singing it goes out of sync in a couple of spots which could make it look like it was dubbed from a different language if you aren't paying attention or just skipping through the video.

I heard "Kaffee" instead of tea

That's actually cultural. Germans have coffee breaks while Brits have tea breaks.

Overdubbing…not a fan. I much prefer subtitles.
You get to hear the acting and the mouth movements match the sounds.
ToenailClippingsJar
I agree about the dubbing.
This however was actually them singing in German.

I don’t think it is. The mouth doesn’t match.
