Verse 1

A           D        A         D
Ev'rybody's building ships and boats
A                 D
Some are building monuments
A                         D
Others, they jotting down notes
A              D
Ev'rybody's in despair
A              D
Ev'ry girl and boy
         A                E
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here

A                 D
I like to do just like the rest
  A             D
I like my sugar sweet
A                     D
But jumpin' fumes and making haste
   A               D
It ain't my cup of meat
A                  D
Ev'rybody's 'neath the trees
A                    D
Feeding pigeons on a limb
         A                E
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
        D                    A
All the pigeons gonna run to him

You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

And I'll tell you who to call
A              D
Nobody can get no sleep

And someone's on ev'rybody's toes
     A                E
When Quinn the Eskimo gets here

Ev'rybody's gonna wanna doze
