stephen lynch – special lyrics

when i was a boy of 10, i had a very best friend
ed was kind, with good intent
but just a little different

oh, special ed
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 soldier, he’d eat dirt
i liked math, and the spelling bee
ed liked talking to a tree

oh, special ed
mama 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
ed ran headfirst into walls
i had girls, and lots of clothes
ed had names for all his toes

oh, special ed
mama 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 while 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-cking 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-cker ed made me special
just a little bit
just a little bit … special
