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

Everybody`s building ships and boats
Some are building monuments, others are 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

I like to go just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and makin` haste, just ain`t my cup of meat
Everyone`s beneath the trees, feedin` 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 can`t decide `em all
Just tell me where to put `em 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
