Lyrics
Der var engang en dreng
en helt almindelig lille fyr
med alt for mange ting han skulle nå
de kaldte ham for Tuk
egentlig hed han Carl
ja der så meget som man ikke kan forstå
Tuk havde lektier for
alle Sjællands byer
skulle han kunne udenad i morgen
men så sgade hans mor:
«kan du passe lillesøster
jeg skal lige en tur i gården»
Og han kiggede i sin lektiebog mens lillesøster skreg
så' det edderdullemig svært at skulle koncentrere sig
Men Tuk er en dygtig dreng
han spiser op og går selv i seng
klarer det meste selv
og klare den alligevel
Så kom moder op
og sagde «kan du hjælpe vaskekonen
med det tunge vasketøj»
og Tuk bar og bar
og han ku' se sein lektielæsningsmulighed
gå op i røg
Men den gamle kone sagde: «gå du bare trygt i seng
når du vågner er du blevet verdens klogeste dreng»
Tuk er en dygtig dreng
han spiser op og går selv i seng
klarer det meste selv
og klarer den alligevel
Og han drømte
En ridder talte om Vordingborg
det' der hvor Gåsetårnet står
en gammel konge med krone på
fortalte ham hvor Roskilde lå
en køn lille høne fra Køge by
lagde et æg og sagde kykkeliky
og en sømand som boede i Korsør
var gået i land som tatovør
fra Præstø kom en papegøje
den plaprede løs hvorpå den fløg
han drømte om hver by og borg
imens han bare lå og sov
Da han vågnede næste morgen
ku' han lektien udenad
og da skolelæreren hørte ham
så blev han noget så glad
og sagde:
«Tuk er en dygtig dreng
han spiser op og går selv i seng
klare det meste selv
og klare den alligevel»
Lyrics translation
Once Upon a time there was a boy
an ordinary little guy
with too many things he had to achieve
they called him Tuk
actually his name was Carl
yes there as much as you can not understand
Tuk had homework too
all cities of Zealand
should he know by heart tomorrow
but then his mother:
"can you look after little sister
I'm gonna take a walk in the yard»
And he looked in his homework while his little sister screamed
so ' it's damn hard to have to concentrate
But Tuk is a good boy
he eats up and goes to bed himself
doing most of it yourself
and make it anyway
Then mother came up
and said "can you help the laundress
with the heavy laundry»
and Tuk bar and bar
and he could see sein's lesson learning opportunity
go up in smoke
But the old woman said: "You just go to bed safely
when you wake up you'll be the smartest boy in the world»
Tuk is a good boy
he eats up and goes to bed himself
doing most of it yourself
and still gonna be okay
And he was dreaming
A Knight spoke of Vordingborg
that's where the goose Tower stands
an old King with a crown on him
told him where Roskilde was
a Pretty Little Hen from Køge town
laid an egg and said kykkeliki
and a sailor who lived in Korsør
had landed as a tattoo artist
from Præstø came a parrot
the babbling on which the fly
he dreamed of every city and Castle
while he was just sleeping
When he woke up the next morning
he memorized his lesson
and when the schoolteacher heard him
then he became something so happy
and said:
"Tuk is a good boy
he eats up and goes to bed himself
cope with most of it yourself
and make it anyway»
