A popular television figure in DR´s childrens television series "Skæg med tal" (fun with numbers) and "Skæg med bogstaver" (fun with letters) - originally a swedish concept.

In 2011 he released "Hr. Skægs store drømme" with assistance from Toke Reunert - that focuses on questions and dreams.

Hr. Skæg Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tyskland (Min krop)

It's my ears (mine ører)
and my eyes (mine øjne)
and my nose (og min næse)
and my mouth (og min mund)
and my arm (og min arm)
and my hand (og min hånd)

and my leg (og mit ben)
and my foot (og min fod)

Alle ting der sidder på min krop
vokser mens jeg vokser op
Og hver morgen når jeg tager afsted
ta'r jeg kroppen med

Jeg kan huske nogen har fortalt
at en krop kan lære alt
og min krop skal lære denne sang
bare kom i gang

Det' mine ører (It's my ears)
og mine øjne (and my eyes)
og min næse (and my nose)
og min mund (and my mouth)
Det' min arm (It's my arm)
og min hånd (and my hand)
og mit ben (and my leg)
og min fod (and my foot)

Alle ting der sidder på min krop
vokser mens jeg vokser op
Og hver morgen når jeg tager afsted
ta'r jeg kroppen med

Jeg kan huske nogen har fortalt
at en krop kan lære alt
og min krop skal lære denne sang
bare kom i gang

Og min krop skal synge denne sang
bare kom i gang.
