Do you know the muffin man?






Do you know the muffin man?
The muffin man the muffin man.
Do you know the muffin man?
That lives in Drury Lane?

Yes I know the muffin man
The muffin man the muffin man
Yes I know the muffin man that lives in Drury lane








Victorian households had many of their fresh foods delivered; muffins would be delivered door-to-door by a muffin man.    Back in those days muffins were what we call English Muffins today, a bread made of yeasted dough and baked on a hot griddle . . . not the sweet, cakey variety we Americans usually associate with the word.






Interestingly, Drury Lane is an actual street in London that is, in fact, known for its muffins.
