It was 7:45 we were all in line To 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 you asked her what she had for breakfast This is what she'd say Starfish and coffee Maple syrup and jam Butterscotch clouds and a tangerine And a side order of ham If you 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, you know what we found? Starfish and coffee Maple syrup and jam Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine And a side order of ham If you set your mind free, baby Maybe you'd understand Starfish and coffee Maple syrup and jam ♪ Starfish and coffee Cynthia had a happy face, just like the one she draws On every wall in every school But it's all right, it's for 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 you 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 you so Starfish in your coffee, you will love it, told you so
