Muffin Man Lyrics
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:
I for one care less for them!"
snoot of a fully charged icing anointment utensil,
he 'poot's 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:
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!"
But he was a muffin,
He hung around till you found,
That he didn’t know nuthin’,
But he only was a-puffin’,
No cries is heard in the night,
As a result of him stuffin’,
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.
I have no clue what it's supposed to mean, but my dad's friend told me that it'll describe every guy I'll ever date. Not much help, but if I figure anything out (I doubt I will) I'll tell you. =/
@LittleZepGirl it's been 15 years. How did it go? I guess your dad's friend's comment was pretty accurate.

It sounds pretty sexual to me.
"Girl, you thought he was a man, but he was a muffin" - he could not get an erection (muffin analogy)
"He hung around 'til you found that he didn't know 'nuffin" - a bluffer
Girl, you thought he was a man, but he only was a-puffin' - A puff is a not very manly male
No cries is heard in the night as a result of him stuffin' - Orgasms can lead to sounds (cries) and the"stuffin"thing is quite explicit.
The muffin man refers to the everyday dip shit that is quite happy following the same mundane rituals day in day out. It's franks humerus dig at the norm. Step out of the box, think for yourself and stop being such a fucking Muffin!!!
I love this song, the intro makes me laug every time.
great guitar solo. great advice from your dads friend zep girl!? you'd have to be pretty naive to not know if your guy was a man or a cake.
it's all about the solo on this one, makes my neck hair stand up every time also i think the drums and bass are also notably very good, as well as the lyrics and frank's voice...arghhhh hell, its just classic Zappa is what it is.
this song is about rug munching, muffin refers to the vag, and its about guys who either suck at or plain refuse to do it
i agree with whippit because it says "but he only was a puffin and no cries in the middle of the night"
As a general statement, the song fits with fans of stupid things. They have no other things to offer. Including sex, etc. as other comments remarked
