Muffin Man [Philly ’76] Frank Zappa

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'

He shoulda rammed it in there

Girl, you thought he was a man
But he was a muffin

FZ: Everybody sing along! Okay, I'll tell you the words, it's really easy, 'cause I have to sing it so low, so maybe you can't tell what the words are if you don't have the Bongo Fury album you'll never know. The words are, "Girl, you thought he was a man but he was a muffin." And then you say, "He hung around till you found that he didn't know nuthin'." And then you say, "Girl, you thought he was a man but he only was a-puffin'." That's right! And then you say, "No cries is heard in the night as a result of him stuffin'." Okay. Now wait . .

Girl, you thought he was a man
But he was a muffin (That's right)
He hung around till you found
That he didn't know nuthin'

FZ: A big choral effect here

Girl, you thought he was a man
But he only was a-puffin' (Don't be shy! Don't be shy)
No cries is heard in the night
As a result of him stuffin'
