everybody's building the big ships and the boats some are building monuments and others are jotting down notes everbody's in despair every girl and boy but when Quinn the eskimo gets here everbody jump for joy come all without come all winthin you'll not see nothing like the mighty quinn Oh you know I like to do just like the rest You know I like my sugar sweet but guarding fumes and making haste You know it ain't my cup of meat Everybody's out the trees, feeding pigeons all under the limb But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here the pigeons gonna run to him Oh 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 to you know I, I could recite them all Just tell me where it hurts you, honey, and I'll tell you who to call Nobody can get asleep, there's someone on everybody's toes When Quinn the Eskimo gets here everybody's gonna want to doze Oh 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.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une atmosphère de désespoir et d'ennui, où les gens semblent s'agiter autour de constructions et de préoccupations quotidiennes. Cependant, l'arrivée de Quinn, l'Esquimau, apporte une promesse de joie et d'excitation. Son apparition est perçue comme un événement extraordinaire qui éveille l'enthousiasme de tous, faisant oublier les tracas. Le contexte de cette œuvre peut être interprété comme une réflexion sur la recherche de sens dans un monde où les préoccupations matérielles dominent. La figure de Quinn représente une sorte de libération, un moment de légèreté et de bonheur amid l'ordinaire. C'est une invitation à se rassembler, à célébrer et à se rappeler les plaisirs simples de la vie.
