when i was

a boy of 10

i had a very best friend

fred was kind

w good intent

but just a little different

oh special fred

mama dropped him on his head

now hes not so bright instead

hes a little bit special

just a little bit



we'd play tag

and he'd get hurt

i'd play soldier

he'd eat dirt

i liked math and spelling bees

fred liked talking to a tree

oh special fred

mama dropped him on his head

now she keeps him in the shed

cause he's a little bit special



i ran track

hung out in malls

fred ran headfirst into walls

i had girls and lots of clothes

fred had names for all his toes

oh special friend

mama dropped him on his head

now he thinks he's a piece of bread

cause he's a little bit special

just a little bit



one day talking to special fred

he grabbed a brick and swung at my head

as he laughed at me

that's when i knew

that special fred had just made me special too

now i laugh as i count bugs

i give strangers great big hugs

next to me

fred is fine

yeah, he's a fuckin eistein

oh special fred and me

now we're not right in the head, ya see

now we're not so bright instead

we're a little bit special

just a little bit special

that bastard fred made me special

just a little bit

just a little bit...special
