Hold the milk, put back the sugar
They are powerless to console
We've gathered here to sprinkle ashes
From our late friend's cereal bowl

Breakfast Clubbers, say the motto
That he taught us to repeat
You will lose it in your gym class
If you wait 'til noon to eat

Back when the Chess Club
Said our eggs were soft
Every Monday he'd say grace
And hold our juice aloft

Oh, none of us knew
His checkout time would come so soon
But before his brain stopped waving
He composed this tune

When the toast is burned
And all the milk has turned
And Captain Crunch is waving farewell

When the big one finds you
May this song remind you
That they don't serve breakfast in Hell

Breakfast Clubbers, drop the hankies
Though to some our friend was odd
That day he bought those pine pajamas
His check was good with God

Those here without the Lord
How do you cope?
For this morning we don't mourn
Like those who have no hope

Oh, rise up, Fruit Loop lovers
Sing out sweet and low
With spoons held high
We bid our brother, Cheerio

When the toast is burned
And all the milk has turned
And Captain Crunch is waving farewell

When the big one finds you
May this song remind you
That they don't serve breakfast in Hell

When the toast is burned
And all the milk has turned
And Captain Crunch is waving farewell

When the big one finds you
May this song remind you
That they don't serve breakfast in Hell
When the toast is burned
And all the milk has turned
And Captain Crunch is waving farewell
When the big one finds you
May this song remind you
That they don't serve breakfast in Hell
When the toast is burned
And all the milk has turned
And Captain Crunch is waving farewell
When the big one finds you
May this song remind you
That they don't serve breakfast in Hell

    what does "pine pajamas" mean? what is it's relevance to the song? other than that, it's a great song and if you like it, check out other songs from "Take Me To Your Leader" especialy the songs written by Steve Taylor.

    What does the song breakfast by the newsboys mean?This song is about a guy who has a breakfast club. The club is in some slight contention with the chess club (refer to line 9). One day the guy gets sick (possibly on something he ate like sour milk on his cereal). On his deathbead, he tells his breakfast clubber buddies that "When the toast is burned and all the milk has turned and capt'n crunch is waving farewell...(chorus) The guy has found out that the most important thing about life is not breakfast, but living for God. Although he's dead the guy has converted his buddies into christians who, though mourning, have the hope of salvation. They are not sad like the world is sad, because they will see their friend in heaven someday.
