Now I have a story that I'd like to tell
|
About this guy you all know he had me scared as hell
|
He comes to me at night after I crawl into bed
|
He's burnt up like a weenie and his name is Fred
|
He wears the same hat and sweater every single day
|
And even if it's hot outside he wears it anyway
|
He's home when I'm awake but he shows up when I sleep
|
I can't believe that there's a nightmare on my street
|
It was a Saturday evening if I remember it right
|
And we had just gotten back off tour last night
|
So the gang and I thought that it would be groovy
|
If we summoned up the posse and done rushed the movie
|
I got Angie Jeff got Tina
|
Ready Rock got some girl I'd never seen in my life
|
That was all right because the lady was chill
|
Then we dipped to the theater set to ill buggin cold havin a ball
|
Somethin about Elm st. was the movie we saw
|
The way it started was decent you know nuthin real fancy
|
About this homeboy named fred and this girl named nancy
|
But word when it was over I said yo that was def
|
And everything seemed all right when we left
|
But when I got home and laid down to sleep
|
That began the nightmare, but on my street
|
It was burning in my room like an oven
|
My bed soaked with sweat And man I was bugging
|
I checked the clock and it stopped at 12:30
|
It had melted it was so darn hot And I was thirsty
|
I wanted something cool to quench my thirst
|
I thought to myself yo this heaters the worst
|
But when I got downstairs I noticed something was wrong
|
I was home all alone but the tv was on
|
I thought nothin off it as I grabbed the remote
|
I pushed the power button and then I almost choked
|
When I heard this awful voice coming from behind It said, "You got my favorite letter but now you must die
|
Man, I ain't even wait to see who it was Broke inside my drawers and screamed, "So long, cuz"
|
Got halfway up the block I calmed down and stopped screaming Then thought, "Oh, I get it, I must be dreaming"
|
I strolled back home with a grin on my grill I think that since this is a dream I might as well get ill
|
I walked in the house, the Big Bad Fresh Prince
|
But Freddy killed all that noise real quick
|
he grabbed me by my neck and said "Here's what we'll do We gotta lotta work here, me and you The souls of your friends you and I will claim You've got the body and I've got the brain"
|
I said, "Yo Fred I think you got me all wrong I ain't partners with nobody with nails that long
|
Look, I'll be honest man, this team won't work The girls won't be on you, Fred, your face is all burnt"
|
Fred got mad and his head started steaming
|
But I thought what the hell im only dreamin
|
I said please leave Fred so I can get some sleep
|
But give me a call maybe we'll hang out next week
|
I patted him on the shoulder, said "thanks for stopping by"
|
then I opened up the door and said "take care guy"
|
he got mad, drew back his arm, and slashed my shirt
|
I laughed at first, then thought, "hold up, that hurt" It wasn't a dream, man, this guy was for real
|
I said, "Freddy, uh, pal, there's been an awful mistake here"
|
No further words and then I darted upstairs
|
Crashed through my door then jumped on my bed
|
Pulled the covers up over my head And said, "Oh please do something with Fred"
|
He jumped on my bed, went through the covers with his claws
|
Tried to get me, but my alarm went off And then silence
|
It was a whole new day I thought, "Huh, I wasn't scared of him anyway"
|
Until I noticed those rips in my sheets
|
And that was proof that there had been a nightmare on my street
|
