The Muffin Man"The Muffin Man" is another variety. The players sit in a circle,
and the game is begun by one of them turning to the next and asking,
either in speech or in song--
Oh, do you know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man?
Oh, do you know the muffin man who lives in Drury Lane?
The reply is--
Oh, yes I know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man,
Oh, yes I know the muffin man who lives in Drury Lane.
Both players then repeat together--
Then two of us know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man,
Then two of us know the muffin man who lives in Drury Lane.
This done, the second player turns to the third and the same question
and answer are given; but when it comes to the comment--
Then three of us know the muffin man,...
the first player also joins in. At the end therefore, if there are
eight people playing, the whole company is singing--
Then eight of us know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin
man,
Then eight of us know the muffin man who lives in Drury Lane.
