    Verse 1
    Now 
    I 
    have 
    a 
    story 

    that 
    I'd 
    like 
    to 
    tell 

    About 
    this 
    guy 
    you 
    all 
    know 

    him, 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 
    gone 
    when 
    I'm 
    awake 
    but 

    he 
    shows 
    up 
    when 
    I'm 
    asleep 

    I 
    can't 
    believe 
    that 
    there's 
    a 

    nightmare 
    - on 
    my 
    street! 

    Interlude 1


    [Fresh Prince] 
    It was 
    a 
    Verse 2

    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 
    movies 

    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 

    We 
    saw 
    Elm 
    Street 
    and 
    man 
    it 
    was 
    def 

    And 
    everything 
    seemed 

    all 
    right 
    when 
    we 
    left 

    But 
    when 
    I 
    got 
    home 
    and 

    laid 
    down 
    to 
    sleep 

    That 
    began 
    the 
    nightmare, 

    Interlude 2
    but 
    on 
    my 
    street! 




    Verse 3
    [Fresh Prince] 
    It was 
    burnin 
    in 
    my 

    room 
    like 
    an 
    oven 

    My 
    bed 
    soaked 
    with 
    sweat, 

    and 
    man, 
    I 
    was 
    buggin 

    I checked 
    the 
    clock 
    and 
    it 

    stopped 
    at 
    12:30 

    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, 
    ";You cut 
    off 
    'Heavy 

    Metal' and now you 
    must 
    die!"; 

    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 
    figured 
    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've 
    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 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 

    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, 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

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      "

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
