Muffin Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F#aug]The muffin man is
seated at the table
in the laboratory of the utility muffin
Research kitchen... reaching for an
[F#]oversized [F#aug]chrome spoon
he gathers an
Intimate quantity of dried [Am]muffin
rem[E]nants [Edim]and brush[Dm]
ing his scapular aside
[G]Procceds to dump the[F#aug]se
inside of his shirt...
He turns to [C#aug]us and
[E]spe[Edim]aks:

[Verse 2]
Some people like cupcakes better.
I for one care less [F#aug]for them!

[Verse 3]
Arrogantly [F#aug]twisting the sterile canvas
snoot of a fully charged icing
Anointment utensil he poots forths
a quarter-ounce green
green rosette (oh ah yuk
Yuk... let's try that again...!)
he poots forth a quarter-ounce green
green
[F#]rosette Near the summit
of a [F#aug]dense but
radiant muffin of his [F#]own design.
Later [Dm]he says:[E]
Some [Edim]people... some

[Verse 4]
[Gdim]people like [C#dim]cupcakes exc[Bbdim]lusively,
while myself, I [Edim]say
There is naught nor [G]ought [Gdim]there be nothing
so exalted on the face of [Bbdim]god's grey
Earth as that prince of food
[C#dim]s... the [Edim]muffin!

[Verse 5]
[Dm]Girl you thought he [Em]was [G]a man
But he [Am]was a muffin
He [Dm]hung around [Em]till you [G]found
That he didn't [Am]know nuthin'

[Verse 6]
[Dm]Girl you thought he [Em]was [G]a man
But he only [Am]was a-puffin'
[G]No No [Dm]cries is [Em]heard in the night
[G]As a result of him[Am] stuffin'
