A Bm E A
it was 7 : 45 , we were all in line 2 greet the teacher miss kathleen
F#m Bm E A
first was kevin , then came lucy , third in line was me
A Bm E A
all of us were ordinary compared 2 cynthia rose
F#m Bm E A
she always stood at the back of the line , a smile beneath her nose
A Bm E A
her favorite number was 20 and every single day
F#m Bm E A
if u asked her what she had 4 breakfast , this is what she’d say

A Bm E A
starfish and coffee , maple syrup and jam
F#m Bm E A
butterscotch clouds and a tangerine , a side order of ham
F#m Bm E A
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
