Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video of Manfred Mann and the Earth band performing their cover of Bob Dylan's classic "The Mighty Quinn" on Top Of The Pops (1968)
I well remember this song.

Bob Dylan - Quinn The Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn) [RARE LIVE FOOTAGE - Isle Of Wight 1969]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU5ZXtSfG0I

"The Mighty Quinn" written by Bob Dylan
Lyrics
"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
[repeat to fade]"

Now there's one I'd totally forgotten about. Brings back some memories for sure.
