Mighty Quinn Lyrics

The Mighty Quinn:Manfred Mann.
#1 in UK, #8 Australia, #3 Canada, #1 New Zealand,
#10 USA in 1968.
(Capo 4th fret.)
CHORUS:
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.
#1.
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.
CHORUS:
Come all without, come all within.
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn.
#2.
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.
CHORUS:
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.
#3.
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.
CHORUS:/OUTRO:
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.(Fade.)
