 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 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

 

 Come all without, come all 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 makin' haste, just ain't my cup of meat

 Everyone's beneath the trees, feedin' 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, 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

 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
