Lyrics

It was 7:45, we were all in line 2 greet the teacher miss kathleen
First was kevin, then came lucy, third in line was me
All of us were ordinary compared 2 cynthia rose
She always stood at the back of the line, a smile beneath her nose
Favorite number was 20, every single day
If u asked her what she had 4 breakfast, this is what she'd say
Come on...

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 u'd understand
Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam

Cynthia wore the prettiest dress with different colored socks
Sometimes we wondered if the mates were in her lunch box
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 u set your mind free, baby, maybe u'd understand
Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam

Cynthia had a happy face just like the one she drawed
On every wall in every school
But it's alright, it's for a worthy cause

Go 'head cynthia keep singing....

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 u'd understand
Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam
