It was 7:45 we were all in line
2 greet the teacher Miss Cathleen
First
was Kevin, then came Lucy, third in line was me
All of us where ordinary
compared to Cynthia Rose
She always stood at the back of the line
A smile
beneath her nose
Her favorite number was 20 and every single day
If U
asked her what she had 4 breakfast
This is what she'd say
Starfish and
coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side
order of ham
If U set your mind free, baby
Maybe you'd
understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam

Cynthia wore
the prettiest dress
With different color socks
Sometimes I wondered if
the mates where in her lunchbox
Me and Lucy opened it when Cynthia wasn't
around
Lucy cried, I almost died, U know what we found?

Starfish and
coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side
order of ham
If U set your mind free, honey
Maybe you'd
understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam

Starfish and
coffee

Cynthia had a happy face, just like the one she'd draw
On
every wall in every school
But it's all right, it's 4 a worthy cause
Go
on, Cynthia, keep singin'

Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and
jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If U set
your mind free, baby
Maybe you'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple
syrup and jam

(starfish in your coffee, you will love it, told ya
so)
