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
