When I was a boy of ten
I had a very best friend
Fred was kind, with good intent
But just a little diff-er-ent
Ohhhh special Fred
Mamma 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 soldier he'd eat dirt
I like math and a spelling bee
Fred liked talking to a tree
Ohhhh special Fred
Mamma dropped him on his head
Now she keeps him, in the shed
cause a little bit special, just a little bit...
I ran track, hung out in malls
Fred ran head first in to walls
I had girls and lots of cloths
Fred had names for all his toes
Ohhhh special Fred
Mamma dropped him on his head
Now he thinks he's a piece of bread
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
And as he laughed at me that's when I knew
That special Fred 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 fucking Einstein
Ohhhh special Fred and me
Now were not right in the head, you see
Now were not so bright instead
were a little bit special, just a little bit special
that bastard Fred made me special!
Just a little bit just a little bit special
