Susannah Melvoin - Starfish and Coffee lyrics

[Verse] 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 where 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 she'd say [Chorus] Starfish and coffee Maple syrup and jam bu*terscotch 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 [Verse] Cynthia wore the prettiest dress With different colour socks Sometimes I wondered if the mates where 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] [Verse] Cynthia had a happy face, just like the one she'd draw On every wall in every school But it's all right, it's for a worthy cause Go on, Cynthia, keep singing [Chorus] [Outro] (starfish in your coffee, you will love it, told you so) (starfish in your coffee, you will love it, told you so)
