Here Is The Origin, Lyrics And Video Of The Famous Nursery Rhyme “The Muffin Man”
NURSERY RHYME – Here is the origin, full lyrics, and a video of one of the most well-known nursery rhyme “The Muffin Man”.
Origin
The song was believed to come from the Victorian era. Before supermarkets even existed, fresh foods were usually delivered to households.
One particular food that was delivered at that time was muffins (specifically believed that they are called English muffins) and they are delivered by, you guessed it, the muffin man.
In the song, it says that the muffin man lives in Drury Lane, which is a thoroughfare at the border of Covenant Garden in the City of London.
There is also a game that is associated with the song, which was changed three times being: a forfeit game, a guessing game, and a dancing ring.
Lyrics
Here is the full lyrics of “The Muffin Man”
Do (Oh, do”) you know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man,
Do you know the muffin man,
Who lives on Drury Lane?
Yes (Oh, yes), I know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man,
Yes, I know the muffin man,
Who lives on Drury Lane.
