Prince
Starfish and Coffee (1995 Version)
[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 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
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If you sеt your mind free, baby
Maybe you'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
[Interlude]
Oh-oh-oh
And I singing
Oh-oh-oh
All togеther now
Oh-oh-oh
And I singing
Oh-oh-oh
[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 up 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
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh
And I singing
Oh-oh-oh
All together now
Oh-oh-oh
And I singing
Oh-oh-oh
