The Mighty Quinn Lyrics - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

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 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 like my sugar sweet 

But jumping queues and making haste 

It 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 like my sugar sweet 

But jumping queues and making haste 

Ain't my cup of meat 

Nobody can get no sleep, there's someone on everyone's toes 

But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here 

Everybody's gonna want to 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
