  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

  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 and a tangerine, 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 but different color socks

Sometimes I wondered if the mates were in her lunchbox (Oh ooh oh)

Me and Lucy opened it when Cynthia wasn't around (Oh ooh oh)

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, baby, maybe U'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 alright, it's 4 a worthy cause

Go on, Cynthia!

Keep sayin':

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
