The Mighty Quinn
Interpret!

Everybody's building ships and boats
Some are building monuments
Others 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
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

Let me do what I wanna do, I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and making haste
It ain't my cup of meat
Everyone's beneath 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
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn

Let me do what I wanna do, I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and making haste
Ain't my cup of meat
Nobody can get no sleep, there's someone on everyone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna want to 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



I have several theories...What are yours?

1. An homage to Anthony Quinn!
Quinn played an Eskimo in one of his movies, I always thought this is what was meant...But I could be wrong...

4. aaahhhhh! That picture of Quinn just slays me EVERY TIME!
Little Pucker Face is adorable, and he's grown into a very handsome cat. Lorien, do you have any photos of Puck or Oberon that young? And forgive me, I've forgotten your third baby's name... the guy who sticks his tongue out?

15. Well, they aren't as cute as Quinn, but here they are:
Edited on Thu Feb-24-05 12:59 AM by Lorien
Baby Puck:



nine month old Obie with five month old Puck


Baby Oberon:


At four months he was already pretty big!

compare Puck at the same age:


None of a very young Oberon, but this one of his brother will have to do:


I got Miro as an almost full grown rescue, so no kitten photos of him. :-(

10. That's why I quit smokin' pot
Every time I heard a song, I had to analyze it over and over again. It took up most of the day.
And I had a kid-had to quit for her. Then went to work for the police for her.

14. I definitely get that Quinn is dealing something
Funny...I remember hearing this as a kid and seeing an eskimo with a cape, saving the day in my head.
