On her way to catch a train
She had to walk down Drury Lane
The warm smell of pastry
Made her stop and take note
Though she had to soon be getting home
She had a craving for a scone
"Oh, just one won't matter
"I won't get fatter, no"

Chorus:
"Pick a good one," he said with a smile
"With so many choices this may take you awhile
"But try to understand, try to understand
"Try, try, try to understand
"I'm a muffin man"

Blueberry or poppy seed
Must fulfill her muffin need
Orange or raspberry
Maple walnut or cherry
She just said "I'll buy them all"
Then she got an urgent call
Hubby says he's worried
Come on back in a hurry, yeah

"Come on home, girl" hubby said on the phone
"The pizza's gettin' colder and my girl should be at home"
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand
He's a muffin man, honey
Ahhh, he's a muffin man

Bridge

"Pick a good one," he said with a smile
"With so many options this could take you quite a while"
But try to understand, try to understand, ohhhh, ohhhh
Try-y-y, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand
He's a muffin man, oh yeah
Ooooh, he got teflon pans

Instrumental

"Pick a good one," he said with a smile
"With so many choices this may take you a while"
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand
He's a muffin man
