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 of [A] dried muffin remnants,
[G] and [F#] brushing his [F] scapular aside, proceeds [A#] to dump these inside of his shirt.
He turns to us and speaks,
[A] [G#] Some people like cupcakes better.
I, for one, 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 says, [G#]
[D] Some people, some people [D] like cupcakes exclusively, while myself,
I say there is not, nor [Bm] ought there be, [B] nothing so [G#] exalted on the face of God's gray earth as that
Prince of [Fm]
Foods, [G#] the Muffin.
[F#] Well, you thought it [B] was a man, [C#] but it was a muffin.
[C#m]
He [F#] hung around [B] till he found that he [C#m] didn't know nothing.
[F#m] Girl, you thought it [B] was a man, but it [C#m] only was a muffin.
[C#] The pies were [B] stirred in the night as a result [C#] of him [C#m] stopping.
