Lyrics Muffin Man - Frank Zappa feat. Captain Beefheart
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
dried
muffin
Remnants
and
brushing
his
scapular
aside,
Procceds
to
dump
these
inside
of
his
shirt...
He
turns
to
us
and
speaks:
"Some
people
like
cupcakes
better.
I
for
one
care
less
for
them!"
Arrogantly
twisting
the
sterile
canvas
Snoot
of
a
fully
charged
icing
anointment
utensil,
He
′poot's
forths
a
quarter-ounce
green
rosette,
- Oh
ah
yuk,
yuk...
let′s
try
that
again...!
-
He
'poots'
forth
a
quarter-ounce
green
rosette
Near
the
summit
of
a
dense,
But
radiant
muffin
of
his
own
design.
Later
he
says:
"Some
people...
some
people
like
cupcakes
Exclusively,
while
myself,
I
say,
There
is
naught
nor
ought
there
be
nothing
So
exalted
on
the
face
of
god′s
grey
Earth
as
that
prince
of
foods...
the
muffin!"
Girl
you
thought
he
was
a
man,
But
he
was
a
muffin,
He
hung
around
till
you
found,
That
he
didn′t
know
nuthin',
Girl
you
thought
he
was
a
man,
But
he
only
was
a-puffin′,
No
cries
is
heard
in
the
night,
As
a
result
of
him
stuffin',
Bruce
Fowler
on
trombone,
Napoleon
Murphy
brock
on
tenor
sax
and
lead
vocals,
Terry
Bozzio
on
drums,
Tom
Fowler
on
bass,
Denny
Walley
on
slide,
George
Duke
on
keyboards,
Captain

vocals
and
soprano
sax
and
madness.
Thank
you
very
much
for
coming
to
the
concert
tonight.
Hope
you
enjoyed
it.
goodnight
Austin,
texas,
where
ever
you
are.
