Special Fred

Stephen Lynch

When I was a boy of ten

I had a very best friend

Fred was kind with good intent

But just a little different

Oh 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

Oh special Fred

Momma dropped him on his head

Now she keeps him in the shed

Cause he's a little bit special

Just a little bit

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 Fred

Momma 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 he swung at my head

And as he laughed at me that's when I knew

That special Fred just made me special too

No-oh

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

On special Fred and me

Now we're not right in the head you 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
