Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)

Ev’rybody’s building the big ships and the boats

Some are building monuments

Others, jotting down notes

Ev’rybody’s in despair

Ev’ry girl and boy

But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here

Ev’rybody’s gonna jump for joy

Come all without, come all within

You’ll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet

But guarding fumes and making haste

It ain’t my cup of meat

Ev’rybody’s ’neath the trees

Feeding pigeons on a limb

But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here

All the pigeons gonna run to him

Come all without, come all within

You’ll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

A cat’s meow and a cow’s moo, I can recite ’em all

Just tell me where it hurts yuh, honey

And I’ll tell you who to call

Nobody can get no sleep

There’s someone on ev’ryone’s toes

But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here

Ev’rybody’s gonna wanna doze

Come all without, come all within

You’ll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
