Ev�rybody�s building the big ships and the boats
Some are building monuments
Others, jotting down notes
Ev�rybody�s in despair
Ev�ry girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Ev�rybody�s gonna jump for joy
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
Ev�rybody�s �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
A cat�s meow and a cow�s moo, I can recite �em all
Just tell me where it hurts yuh, honey
And I�ll tell you who to call
Nobody can get no sleep
There�s someone on ev�ryone�s toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Ev�rybody�s gonna wanna doze
Come all without, come all within
You�ll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
