Verse 1
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 when
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
but he shows up when I sleep
Am
Em
I can't believe that there's a nightmare,
on my street

Verse 2
C
that it would be groovy
If we summoned up the posse
C
Em
and down watch a movie
I got Angie, Jeff got Tina
Ready Rock got some girl
I've never seen in my life
lady was chill
Then we dipped to the theatre set
to ill
And somethin' 'bout
Elm Street was the movie we saw
You know, nothin' real fancy
About this homeboy named Fred
But, word! When it was over, I said,
yo, that was def!
Am
Em
And everything seemed
alright when we left
Am
Em
That began the nightmare,

Verse 3
Em
It was burnin' in my room like an oven My
bed soaked with sweat,
and man, I was buggin'
and it stopped at 12 30
It had melted it was so darn hot,
I wanted something
cool to quench my thirst
I thought to myself,
Yo! This heat is 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' of it as I grabbed
the remote
I pushed the power button,
and I then almost choked
C
When I heard this awful voice comin' from behind,
it said
"You are my favorite rapper, but
Man, I ain't even wait to see who it was
Broke inside my drawers and screamed,
so long 'cause!
I calmed down and stopped screamin'
Em
And 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
"Here's what we'll do. We've got
a lotta work here, me and you
The souls of your friends, you
and I will claim
You've got the body,
Verse 4
and I've got the brains."
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 yours, Fred, your
face is all burnt
Fred got mad and his head started
steamin'
But I thought what the hell, I'm
only dreamin'
I said, please leave Fred, so I can
get some sleep
But gimme a call, and
maybe we'll hang out next week
I pat him on the shoulder,
say, "Thanks for stoppin' by.
Then I opened up the door
and said, "Take care, guy!"
He got mad, threw 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,
Verse 5
uh, uh, there's been an awful mistake here.
C
No further words,
and then I darted upstairs
Crashed through my door
Pulled the covers up over my head and said
Oh please, do somethin' with Fred!
He jumped on my bed and threw
the covers with his claws
Tried to get me but my alarm
Silence
Heh, 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
Verse 6
call Jeff
C'mon, c'mon
C'mon Jeff, answer
C'mon man
Hello
wake up Jeff, wake up
What do you want?
Jeff, wake up, man. Listen to me. Jeff
what do you want?
Jeff, listen, Jeff, would you listen to
me? Whatever you do, don't
Fall asleep
Man
Look, I'll talk to you tomorrow,
I'm goin' to bed
Jeff! Jeff! Jeff, answer me, Jeff
I'm your D.J. now, Princy ha ha ha
