Quinn The Eskimo (The
Mighty Quinn)
Lyrics: Bob Dylan
Music: Bob Dylan
Everybody's building ships and boats
Some are building monuments
And some are jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair
Every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna jump for joy
Chorus
Come on without, come on within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come on without, come on within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and making haste
Just ain't my cup of meat
Everybody's 'neath the trees
Feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
All the pigeons gonna run to him
[chorus]
If you do what I want you to, I can't decide in my heart
Tell me where to put it, and I'll tell you who to call
No one can get no sleep, with someone on everyone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna want a dose
[chorus]
