I met a very special girl
She had very special hair
I met her down on the street
I was gonna drive her somewhere

And it was very important
That, that everybody was aware
That she, that she was something out
Of the ordinary

She had a very special bag
The same color as her hair
It seemed she wanted me to ask her
"Now, what you got up in there?"

She said "I got a very special helmet."
"In case we drive into a bush or
A large animal and I get stomped on my head by its hooves."

Well, I need my special helmet
And I need my special helmet
Well, I need my special helmet
And I need my special helmet

Because it's dangerous out on the streets
Ah, when you're sitting in an automobile
At any moment in time a large rock
Or poisonous snake could crash through the windshield
And separate your hair from your head
And your feet from the floor
And your hands from the side of the door
And your cup from its cup holder

I need my special helmet
And I need my special helmet
Well, I need my special helmet
And I need my special helmet

Special helmet
I need my special helmet
And I need my special helmet
I need my special helmet

[I'm not getting into that vehicle without my special helmet]
