Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn) Songtext
von 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 cubes 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, 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 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
The mighty Quinn
The mighty Quinn
