[Verse 1] It was 745 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 favourite number was 20 and every single day If you asked her what she had for breakfast This is what shed say [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 youd understand Starfish and coffee Maple syrup and jam [Verse 2] Cynthia wore the prettiest dress With different colour socks Sometimes I wondered if the mates were in her lunch box Me and Lucy opened it when Cynthia wasnt 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 youd understand Starfish and coffee Maple syrup and jam [Verse 3] Starfish and coffee Cynthia had a happy face, just like the one shed draw On every wall in every school But its all right, its 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 youd understand Starfish and coffee Maple syrup and jam [Outro] starfish in your coffee, you will love it, told you so starfish in your coffee, you will love it, told you so
