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
Everybody's building ships and 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's gonna jump for joy
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
I like to go just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and makin' haste, just ain't my cup of meat
Everyone's beneath the trees, feedin' 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
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Let me do what I wanna do, I can't decide 'em all
Just tell me where to put 'em and I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get no sleep, there's someone on everyone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna wanna doze
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
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
Manfred Mann è un musicista e compositore tedesco-britannico, noto per essere il leader del gruppo rock omonimo attivo tra gli anni '60 e '70. Nato a Lublino, in Polonia, nel 1940, Manfred Mann si trasferì in Inghilterra con la sua famiglia durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Iniziò a suonare il pianoforte all'età di sei anni e studiò musica classica al Royal College of Music di Londra. Nel 1962 formò i Manfred Mann, un gruppo rock che ottenne grande successo negli anni '60 grazie a brani come "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", "Pretty Flamingo" e "Sha La La". Il gruppo si caratterizzava per una fusione di elementi blues, jazz e pop, con influenze del rhythm and blues americano. Nel 1970 il gruppo si sciolse e Manfred Mann continuò la sua carriera come musicista solista, pubblicando album di musica classica, jazz e rock progressivo. Nel corso della sua lunga carriera, Manfred Mann ha collaborato con numerosi artisti, tra cui Elton John, The Rolling Stones e Paul McCartney.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
