Everyone Knows It's Cyndi

Lauper expressed herself with a variety of hair colors and eccentric clothing, and took a friend's advice to spell her name as "Cyndi" rather than "Cindy". Her unconventional sense of style led to classmates bullying and throwing stones at her. -- Wikipedia

With affectation that asserted

Resistance to the rank and file,

She spelled her name with vowels inverted

In a nonconformist style.

You only get one shot at living,

The life you’re living is that one,

So seize the things that life is giving,

Girls deserve to have some fun!
