Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn) - Joan Osborne

Everybody’s building the big ships and the 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

I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet

But jumping queues and making haste

It ain’t my cup of meat

Everybody’s out in 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

A cat’s meow and a cow’s moo

So you know, I can recite them all

Just tell me where it hurts you, honey

I’ll tell you who to call

Nobody can get no sleep

On everybody’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

The Mighty Quinn

Oh, the Mighty Quinn

Oh oh oh, the Mighty, Mighty Quinn
