Mighty Quinn

Bob Dylan

Everybody’s building ships and boats
Some are building monuments, otters are jotting down notes
Everybody is in despair, every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody’s going to jump for joy

Come on without, come on 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 hills and making haste just ain’t my cup of tea
Everybody’s beneath the trees a-feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
All the pigeons are going to run to him

Come on without, come on within
You’ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Let me do what I want to do, I can’t decide at all
Just tell me where to put them and I’ll tell you who to call
Nobody’s going to get no sleep on everybody’s toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody’s going to want to doze

Come on without, come on within
You’ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
