[Verse]
BbaugThe muffin man is seated at the table
BbaugIn the laboratory of the utility muffin Research kitchen.
BbaugReaching for an oversized chrome spoon,
BbaugHe gathers an Intimate quantity of dried Aaugmuffin
G#augRemnanGaugts and F#augbrushing his Faugscapular aEaugside,
ProD#augcceds to Bbaugdump these inside of his shirt...
BbaugHe turns to us and speaks:Aaug  
[Bridge]
  G#dim7"Some people like cupcakes better.
G#dim7I for one care less for them!"
[Verse]
  BbaugArrogantly twisting the sterile canvas 
BbaugSnoot of a fully charged icing anointment utensil,
BbaugHe 'poot's forths a quarter-ounce green rosette,
Bbaug- oh ah yuk, yuk... let's try that again...! -
BbaugHe 'poots' forth a quarter-ounce green rosette
BbaugNear the summit of a dense,
BbaugBut radiant muffin of his own design.
Later Aaughe says:

   G#dim7"Some people... some people like cupcakes
G#dim7Exclusively, while myself, I say,
G#dim7There is naught nor ought there be nothing 
G#dim7So exalted on the face of god's grey
G#dim7Earth as that prince of foods... the muffin!"
