The Mighty Quinn Lyrics - Grateful Dead

Everybody's building the big ships and the 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 all without, come all within 

You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn 

Now 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 standing around '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't recite 'em all 

Just tell me where it hurts and I'll tell you who to call 

Nobody can get any sleep, there's someone on everybody's toes 

But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybody's gonna 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 like the Mighty Quinn
