Verse

E           A                E             A
Ev’rybody’s building the big ships and the boats
E                  A
 Some are building monuments
E                       A
Others are jotting down notes
E                 A
Ev’rybody’s in despair
E               A
Ev’ry girl and boy
         E                B
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
A                  E
Ev’rybody jump for joy

Chorus

E                 B            E
Come all without, come all within
       E       B                A      E
You’ll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

Verse

       E               A                E             A
Now, I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet
    E                  A
But guarding fumes and making haste
   E               A
It ain’t my cup of meat
E                           A
 Ev’rybody’s just standin’ ‘round ’neath the trees
        E            A
Feeding pigeons on a limb
         E                B
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
     A                    E
Then pigeons'll go to him

Chorus

E                 B            E
Come all without, come all within
       E       B                A      E
You’ll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

Verse

     E                 A           E                A
Now, land[?] deeds and credit due, I can recite ’em all
     E                A
Just tell me where it hurts
     E               A
I’ll tell you who to call
E              A
Nobody can get any sleep
        E                     A
There’s someone on ev’ryone’s toes
         E                B
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
A                 E
Ev’rybody’s wanna doze

Chorus

E                 B            E
Come all without, come all within
       E       B                A      E
You’ll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
[Chorus] (+ coda)
E                 B            E
Come all without, come all within
       E       B
You’ll not see nothing
