Song Detail — Quinn the Eskimo (Bob Dylan)
Lyrics
Everybody's building ships and boatsSome are building monuments
Some 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.
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
Everybody's standing round neath 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't recite em all
Just tell me where it hurts
I'll tell you who to call
Nobody's gettin any sleep
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....
