Question

the song

Answer 1

The Muffin Man is a traditional nursery rhyme or children's song with English origins. The lyrics are as follows, or similar:

    Do you know the Muffin Man? The Muffin Man, the Muffin Man. Do you know the Muffin Man, Who lives on Drury Lane?

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.[1] It could also refer to the darker era when Drury Lane was lined with brothels.

The Young Lady's Book, from 1888, describes the song in the context of a game:

        "Do you know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man?

        Do you know the muffin man who lives in Drury Lane?"

    The person addressed replies to the same tune:

        "Yes, I know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man;

        Oh, yes, I know the muffin man, who lives in Drury Lane."

    Upon this they both exclaim:

        "Then two of us know the muffin man, the muffin man,
