Ev'rybody's building the big ships and the boats
Some are building monuments
Others are jotting down notes
Ev'rybody's in despair
Ev'ry girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Ev'rybody 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 just standin' 'round '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
Now, land[?] deeds and credit due, I can recite 'em all
Just tell me where it hurts
I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get any sleep
There's someone on ev'ryone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Ev'rybody's wanna 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
[break]
Like the mighty ... Quinn
