Jorn - Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn) Lyrics

Everybody's building the big ships and the boats
Some are building monuments
Others jotting down notes
Ev'rybody's in despair
Every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Ev'rybody jumps 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
Everybody's just standin' around 'neath the trees
Feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Then pigeons will go to him
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Now, let me take credit due
I can recite them all
Just tell me where it hurts you
And I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get any sleep
There's someone on everybody's toes
When Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Ev'rybody's gonna doze
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

Everybody's building the big ships and the boats
Some are building monuments
Others jotting down notes
Ev'rybody's in despair
Every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Ev'rybody jumps 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
Everybody's just standin' around 'neath the trees
Feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Then pigeons will go to him
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Now, let me take credit due
I can recite them all
Just tell me where it hurts you
And I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get any sleep
There's someone on everybody's toes
When Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Ev'rybody's gonna doze
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
