Do You Know The Muffin Man?

[boedicca]

Little scene at I observed while walking around Lake Merritt today.

Cast:

Dad - very large black man, shaved head, many tats
Daughter #1 - 6 years old (est.)
Daughter #2 - 3 years old (est.)

Daughter #1: "Daddy, let's sing a song!"

Dad: "Okay, what would you like to sing!"

Daughter #1: "She only knows 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"!

Dad: "Well, let's teach her a new song."

Dad starts to sing "Do You Know The Muffin Man?", repeating the lines so the little one can join in.

It was sweet.

Must have been the rap version:

Girl you thoughl he was a man
Bul he was a muffin
He hung around till you found
That he didn't know nuthin'
Girl you thought he was a man
But he only was a-puffin'
No cries is heard in the night
As a result of him stuffin'
