I had a very best friend.
Fred was kind, with good intent
But just a little different.

Special Fred,
Momma dropped him on his head.
Now he's not so bright, instead
He's a little bit special.
Just a little bit.

We played tag, and he'd get hurt.
I'd play "soldier", He'd eat dirt.
I liked math and the spelling bee.
Fred liked talking to a tree.

Special Fred,
Momma 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 in malls.
Fred ran head first into walls.
I had girls, and lots of clothes.
Fred had names for all his toes.

Special Fred,
Momma 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 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
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 f--kin' Einstein.

Special Fred and me,
Now we're not right in the head you see.
Now we're not so bright intead
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
