NOW I HAVE A STORY
THAT I'D LIKE TO TELL
ABOUT THIS GUY
YOU ALL KNOW ME
I WAS 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
BUM RUSHED THE MOVIE
I GOT ANGIE
JEFF GOT TINA
READY ROCK
GOT SOME GIRL
I'VE NEVER SEEN
IN MY LIFE
THAT WAS ALRIGHT
BECAUSE
THE LADY WAS CHILL
THEN WE DIPPED
TO THE THEATER
SET TO ILL
WE SAW ELM STREET
AND MAN IT WAS DEF
AND EVERYTHING
SEEMED ALRIGHT
WHEN WE LEFT
BUT WHEN I GOT HOME
AND LAID DOWN
TO SLEEP
THAT BEGAN
THE NIGHTMARE
BUT ON MY STREET
IT WAS BURNIN'
IN MY ROOM
LIKE AN OVEN
MY BED SOAKED
WITH SWEAT
AND MAN I WAS BUGGIN'
I CHECKED THE CLOCK
IT HAD STOPPED
AT TWELVE-THIRTY
IT HAD MELTED
IT WAS SO DARN HOT
AND I WAS THIRSTY
I WENT DOWNSTAIRS
TO GRAB SOME JUICE
OR A COKE
FLIPPED THE TV OFF
AND THEN
I ALMOST CHOKED
WHEN I HEARD
THIS AWFUL VOICE
COMIN' FROM BEHIND
IT SAID
MAN I AIN'T EVEN WAIT
TO SEE WHO IT WAS
BROKE OUTSIDE
MY DRAWERS
AND SCREAMED
SO LONG CUZ
GOT HALFWAY
UP THE BLOCK
I CALMED DOWN AND
STOPPED SCREAMIN'
THEN THOUGHT
OH I GET IT
I MUST BE DREAMIN'
I STROLLED BACK HOME
WITH A GRIN ON MY GRILL
I'M THINKIN'
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
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
I PAT HIM
ON THE SHOULDER
SAID THANKS
FOR STOPPIN' 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 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 SOMETHIN' 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 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
