When I was,

A boy of ten

I had a very best friend



Fred was kind

with good intent

but just a little different



Oooh, Special Fred

mama dropped him on his head

now he's not so bright instead

he's a little bit special

just a little bit



We'd play tag

and he'd get hurt

I'd play a soldier

he'd eat dirt



I liked math,

and spelling bees

fred liked talking to a tree



ooh special Fred

Mama dropped him on his head

now she keeps him in the shed

cuz he's a little bit special

just a little bit



I ran track,

hung out at malls

fred ran headfirst

into walls



I had girls

and lots of clothes

fred had names

for all his toes



ooh special fred

mama dropped him on his head

now he thinks

he's a piece of bread

cuz he's a little bit special

just a little bit



one day, when talking to special fred,

he grabbed a brick and he swung at my head

and as he laughed at me

that's when I knew

special fred just made

me special toooo!



Now I laugh as I count bugs

I give strangers great big hugs

next to me, fred is fine

yeah, he's a fuckin Einstein

ooh special fred,

now we're not right in the head

now we're not so bright instead

we're a little bit special

just a little bit special

that fucker fred made me special

just a little bit
