The Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo) Songtext

von Manfred Mann

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 ships and boats
Some are building monuments,
Others jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy,
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Everybody's gonna jump for joy.

Come on without
Come on within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

I like to go just like the rest,
I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and making haste just ain't my cup of meat
Everyone's beneath 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
Come all without
Come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Let me do what I wanna do,
I can't decide 'em all
Just tell me where to put 'em
And I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get no sleep
There's someone on everyone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Everybody's gonna wanna doze.

Come all without (just singin' a song!)
Come all within (everybody!)
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn (I wanna hear you sing!)

Come all without
Come all within (here he comes now)
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn (let's come on and sing)

Come all without (just singin' a song!)
Come all within (everybody!)
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Come all without
Come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
