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.
