A boy named Bobby befriends an autistic boy.
Bobby, He's Different, That's all

Mommy, he's not fair, he won't share.
He took my favorite bouncing ball!
Bobby, he's different, that's all.

Mommy, he hit me again this time on my chin,
he made me fall.
Bobby, he's different, that's all.

Mommy, I didn't mean, he just started to scream.
For no reason that I can recall!
Bobby, he's different, that's all.

Mommy, why does he stare, it's not fair.
He spins in circles and writes on the wall.
Bobby, he's different, that's all.

Mommy, why won't he talk to me,
he only repeats mockingly.
He won't tell me where he put my ball.
Bobby, he's different, that's all.

Mommy, he's different you keep telling me,
but why mommy, I can't see.
What is it, what's wrong with him?
Bobby, they call it, autism.
