    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 poots 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 beefheart on 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.
