We are a fun weird lot we are!
Just a little bit special.
Just like Special Fred!! (originally by Stephen Lynch... you can youtube it)
I have one kid that plays this on guitar while the other sings it. Cracks me up
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 reg'lar 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 flippin' fred made me special
just a little bit
