Manfred Mann`s Earth Band The Mighty Quinn Lyrics

The Mighty Quinn Lyrics

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

[repeat to fade]
