Special

When I was a boy of 10, I had a very special friend

Ed was kind, with good intent

But just a little different

Oh, special Ed

his Mama mama dropped him dropped him on his head

Now he's not so bright instead

He's a little bit special

Just a little bit... special

We'd play tag, and he'd get hurt

I'd play soldier, he'd eat dirt

I liked maths, and the spelling bee

Ed liked talking to a tree

Oh, special Ed

his Mama mama dropped him dropped him on his head

Now she keeps him (where?) in the shed

Cause he's a little bit special

Just a little bit... special

I ran track, hung out in malls

Ed ran headfirst into walls

I had girls and lots of clothes

Ed had names for all his toes

Oh, special Ed

his Mama mama dropped him 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... special

I thought college life was great

Ed could count from one to two

I liked people and the party scene

Ed was scared of the vacumcleaner

Oh, special Ed

his Mama mama dropped him dropped him on his head

Now he thinks he thinks he can drive his bed

Cause he's a little bit special

Just a little bit...

one day talking to special Ed

He grabbed a brick and he swung at my head

And as he laughed at me thats when I knew

That special Ed just made me special too

Now I laugh as I count bugs

I give strangers great big hugs

Next to me Ed is fine

Yeah he's a f---ing Einstein

Oh, Special Ed (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 f---er Ed made me special

Just a little bit

Just a little bit ... special
