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
