Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn) Songtext

von Bob Dylan

Come all without, come all within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.

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 gonna jump for joy.

Come all without, come all within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn. (x2)

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 neath the trees,
Feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
All the pigeons gonno run to him.

Come all without, comall within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn. (2x)

A cat's neow and a cow's moo, I can recite 'em all,
Just tell me where it hurts yuh, honey
And I'll tell you who to call.
Nobody can get no sleep,
There's someone on ev'ryone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Ev'rybody's gonna wanna doze.

Come all without, come all within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn. (4x)
