This song is paired with a movement game where one scout starts in the center of a circle. They choose someone in the circle and sing the first verse to them. That scout replies with the second verse and joins the center. Together, they sing the third verse. The game repeats until all scouts are in the center, ending with “All of us know the muffin man.

Lyrics

Oh, do you know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man,
Oh, do you know the muffin man, That lives in Drury Lane.

Yes, I know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man,
Yes, I know the muffin man, That lives in Drury Lane.

Two of us know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man,
Two of us know the muffin man, That lives in Drury Lane.

Increase the number in verse three until all are chosen and end with:
All of us know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man,
All of us know the muffin man, That lives in Drury Lane.
