Do You Know the Muffin Man?
Oh, do you know the Muffin Man
The Muffin Man, the Muffin Man
Oh, do you know the Muffin Man
Who lives on Drury Lane
**
Oh, yes I know the Muffin Man
The Muffin Man, the Muffin Man
For he returned with dark̵ demands
You've yet to pay your debt
**
The illnxssxs struck your family
Your father suffered fev'rishly
Your sister's cough, unsavoury
Your mother strᴜggled so
**
The loved ones needed bread to eat
Their health required costly meats
And medicine with fruit so sweet
You made the call for help
**
From Drury Lane, the Muffin Man
Responded to your plighted plan
A contract signed with your own hand
The bonding pact was forced
**
'Twas eighty pounds and shillings four
And food to stock the kitchen drawers
With medıcıne to soothe the sores
Your fam'ly could endure
**
In leaving you, the Man implored
To pay the debt – you shan't ignore
For future päin (so much abhorred)
Would cûrsêd if you evade
**
The seasons passed – with all your strength
You could not pay the funds you've take'd
Your loved ones, still with sickness, shake'd
The Muffin Man's arrived
**
“Good sir, I cannot pay today
I beg you please, will you delay
My promises, I won't betray
Your trust, but please more time”
**
The Muffin Man says, Time is done
Some men require lıvers young
And tender kıdneƴ not high-strung
For then you see his blxde
**
When fam'ly wakes from sickness' hold
They call for you until they're told
The Muffin Man took heart and soul
Your loved ones wail in těars
**
Oh, do you know the Muffin Man
The Muffin Man, the Muffin Man
Take care, be not trapped in his hands
He lives on Drury Lane
