Quinn The Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn) lyrics
Song information
Artist: Bob Dylan
Album: Self Portrait
Lyrics
Ev'rybody's building the big ships and the boats
Some are building monuments
Others, jotting down notes
Ev'rybody's in despair
Ev'ry girl and boy
But when quinn the eskimo gets here
Ev'rybody's jump for joy
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty quinn
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
Ev'rybody's just standing 'round 'neath the trees
Feeding pigeons on a limb
But when quinn the eskimo gets here
Them pigeons'll go 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 recite 'em all
Just tell me where it hurts honey
And I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get any sleep
There's someone on ev'ryone's toes
But when quinn the eskimo gets here
Ev'rybody's gonna doze
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty quinn
