Intro:You know being on the road a lot, I start missing a lot of things about home.
Most of all my friends, but in particular, one of them, whom I consider my best friend.
His name was Ed and he was very dear to me. You know him? I loved him dearly, even if he was a little bit... Thank you, sir. Special.
*Starts playing then stops*
Oh by the way, for those who've seen my shows before, I'm gonna do some of the old ones but
I'm gonna be throwing some new shit in too.
So sing along if you know the words, but I've thrown some new shit into this one too.
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
His 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 math, 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 girly girls, and lots of clothes
Ed had names for all his toes
Like Larry, and Terry,and Jerry, and Barry, and Ricky, and Bobby, and Rhonda the girl who don't care like you and I care
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 vacuum cleaner
Oh, special Ed
His Mama Mama dropped him, dropped him on his head
Now he thinks he can drive his bed
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 that's when I knew
That special Ed just made me special too
*starts dancing and acting retarded*
I'm strong like Hulk!
My shoes hurt!
Mr. Show!
Now I laugh as I count bugs
I give strangers great big hugs
Next to me Ed is fine
Yeah he's a fucking 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 fucker Ed made me special
Just a little bit...
Just a little bit... Everybody...
