DO YOU KNOW THE MUFFIN MAN?

"The Muffin Man" is a traditional nursery rhyme or children's song of English origin. The rhyme is first recorded in a British manuscript of around 1820 preserved in the Bodleian Library with lyrics very similar to those used today.

Drury Lane is a street in London, also notable for its theatre. Victorian households had many of their fresh foods delivered; muffins would be delivered door-to-door by a muffin man.
The "muffins" were the product known in much of the English-speaking world today as English muffins, not the cupcake-shaped American variety.
