The Muffin Man is a traditional English nursery rhyme and folk song dating back to the 18th century. The lyrics tell the story of a muffin man who lived on Drury Lane. However, it is not clear if there was a real-life muffin man who lived on Drury Lane or if the character is simply a fictional creation.

There is no evidence that anyone has ever met the Muffin Man of the song, and it is likely that the character is a fictional representation. The song has been passed down through generations and is now a well-known and beloved nursery rhyme enjoyed by children and adults alike.

In Victorian times, people would often get their bread and milk goods delivered to their door. The milk man would bring the milk, and the muffin man would bring the muffins. Muffins at the time weren't sweet as we think of them now, and were more like bread rolls.
