A Nightmare on My Street

[Intro: Fresh Prince] 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 sleep I can't believe that there's a nightmare on my street! [Verse 1: Fresh Prince] 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 movies I got Angie, Jeff got Tina Ready Rock got some girl I'd never seen in my life That was all right though 'cause the lady was chill Then we dipped to the theater set to ill Buggin', cold havin' a ball And somethin' ‘bout Elm Street was the movie we saw The way it started was decent, you know nothing real fancy About this homeboy named Freddy and this girl named Nancy But word when it was over I said, “Yo, that 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! [Verse 2: Fresh Prince & Freddy Kruger] It was burning in my room like an oven My bed soaked with sweat, 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 turned off David Letterman, now you must die!" Man, I ain't even wait to see who it was Broke outside in 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 got a lot of 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 pat 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, ripped 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 [Outro: Fresh Prince, Jazzy Jeff & Freddy Krueger] Oh man, I gotta call Jeff, I gotta call Jeff Come on, come on Come on Jeff, answer Come on, man Hello?
