Quinn the Eskimo (Take 1) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody's building
Big ships and the boats
Some are building monuments
Others are jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair
Every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody jump for joy

[Chorus]
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

[Verse 2]
Now I like to go, just like the rest
I likes my sugar sweet
But darning 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 are gonna go to him

[Chorus]
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

[Verse 3]
A lamb [?], [?} do, I can recite 'em all
Just tell me where to put'em
And I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get in his sleep
There's someone on everybody's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna doze

[Chorus]
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
