[A#]
The Muffin Man is seated at the table in the laboratory of the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen.
Reaching for an oversized chrome spoon, he gathers an intimate quantity [A] of dried muffin
[G#] remnants [G] [F#] and brushing [F] his scapular [E] aside, [D#] proceeds [A#] to dump these inside of his shirt.
He turns to us and speaks.
[A] [G#]
Some people like cupcakes better.
[Bm] I, for one, [G#] care less for them.
[A#] Arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icing anointment utensil,
he puts forth a quarter ounce green rosette near the summit of a dense but radiant muffin
of his own design.
[A] Later, he [G#] says, [D] some people, some people [F] like cupcakes [D] exclusively, while myself, I say,
there is not, [B] nor ought there be, nothing so exalted on [D] the face of [G#] God's great earth
as that [Dm] Prince of [Fm] Foods, [Bm] the Muffin.
[F#]
Well, [G] he [B] thought he was a man, [C] [C#] but he was a [C#m] muffin.
[F#]
He fumbled [G#m] around till [B] he found [C] that he [C#m] didn't know nothing.
[F#]
Well, [G] he [G#] thought he [B] was a man, but he [C#m] only was a muffin.
No pride is [B] heard in the night as a result [C#] of him stopping.
