Starfish and Coffee

[Intro]

{*school bell rings*}

[Verse 1]

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 were 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

[Chorus]

Starfish and coffee

Maple syrup and jam

Butterscotch clouds and a tangerine

And a side order of ham

And if you set your mind free, baby

Maybe you'd understand

Starfish and coffee

Maple syrup and jam

[Verse 2]

Cynthia wore the prettiest dress

With different color socks

Sometimes, I 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?

[Chorus]

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, oh-oh

[Verse 3]

(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 singing

[Chorus]

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, oh-oh

[Outro]

(La-la-la)

Oh, ooh (La-la-la)

Oh, ooh (La-la-la)

(Starfish and coffee is love for the soul)

Oh, ooh (La-la-la)

(Starfish and coffee is love for the soul)

La-la-la-la-la
