Dejligt at se dig ven
Alting er klart
Velkommen til mit hotel
Her kan man være sig selv

Bliver du en dag eller to?
Undskyld ... hvad er det du siger?
Øh, kan du tale engelsk?
Do you speak English? Juhuu!

What is your name?
Welcome to Mister Skæg's Hotel
How can I help?
Er der mon noget du vil ha'?
(Velkommen til Hr. Skægs Hotel)
Har du det godt?
Hvad er dit navn?
Kan du forstå mig når jeg spø'r:
Hvor er du fra?
Hvad kan jeg gøre for dig i dag?
(Velkommen til Hr. Skægs Hotel)
Jeg ville ønske at
