NOW I HAVE A STORY 
THAT I'D LIKE TO TELL 
ABOUT A 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 WHEN 

IT'S HOT OUTSIDE 
HE WEARS IT ANYWAY 
HE'S GONE WHEN I AWAKE
BUT SHOWS UP 

WHEN I'M ASLEEP 
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT 
THERE'S A NIGHTMARE 
ON MY STREET 

4 BAR 
BREAK 

IT WAS A SATURDAY 

NIGHT 
IF I REMEMBER IT RIGHT 
AND WE HAD JUST 
GOTTEN BACK 

FROM THE TOUR 
LAST NIGHT 
SO THE GANG AND I 
THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD

BE GROOVY 
IF WE SUMMONED UP 
THE POSSE 
AND BUM RUSHED 

A MOVIE 
I GOT ANGIE 
JEFF GOT TINA 
FREDDY ROCKED 

CAUGHT SOME GIRL 
I NEVER SEEN 
IN MY LIFE 
BUT THAT'S ALRIGHT 

BECAUSE THE LADY 
WAS CHILL 
THEN WE WENT 
TO THE THEATER SET 

SET TO KILL 
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 
ON MY STREET 

8 BAR 
BREAK 

BURNING IN MY ROOM 

LIKE A OVEN 
MY BED 
SOAKED WITH SWEAT 
AND MAN I WAS BUGGIN' 

I CHECKED THE CLOCK 
AND IT STOPPED 
AT TWELVE-THIRTY 
IT HAD MELTED 

SO DARNED HOT 
AND I WAS THIRSTY 
WENT DOWNSTAIRS 
TO GRAB SOME JUICE 

OR A COKE 
I FLIPPED ON THE T.V. 
AND I ALMOST CHOKED 
AND WHEN I HEARD 

THIS AWFUL VOICE 
CALL FOR ME 
FROM BEHIND 
IT SAID 

MAN I AIN'T EVEN 
WAITIN' 
TO SEE WHO IT WAS 
BROKE OUTSIDE 

MY DRAWERS AND 
SCREAMED SO LONG CUZ'
GOT HALF WAY DOWN 
THE BLOCK 

I CALMED DOWN 
AND STOPPED 
SCREAMING 
AND I THOUGHT 

OH I GET IT 
I MUST BE DREAMING 
I STROLLED BACK HOME 
WITH A GRIN ON MY GRILL

I FIGURED SINCE 
THIS IS A DREAM I MIGHT 
AS WELL GET CHILL 
I WALKED INTO THE HOUSE

THE BIG BAD 
FRESH PRINCE 
BUT FREDDY KILLED 
ALL THAT NOISE 

REAL QUICK 
HE GRABBED ME 
BY THE NECK AND SAID 
HERE'S WHAT WE'LL DO 


I SAID YO FRED 
YOU GOT ME ALL WRONG 
I AIN'T NO PARTNER 

WITH NOBODY 
WITH NAILS THAT LONG 
LOOK I'LL BE 
AN 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 
MAD 

DREW BACK HIS ARM 
AND SLASHED MY SHIRT 
I LAUGHED AT FIRST 
THEN I SAID 

HOLD UP THAT HURT 
IT WASN'T A DREAM 
THIS GUY'S 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 
OVER MY HEAD 
AND SAID 
OH SOMEBODY 

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 

HA 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 HA HA HA 

I GOT TO CALL JEFF
