Quinn the Eskimo Lyrics
Everybody's building
The big ships and the boats
Some are building monuments
Others are jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair
Every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody jump for joy
Come all without, come all...
The big ships and the boats
Some are building monuments
Others are jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair
Every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody jump for joy
Come all without, come all...
