lyrics

"A Nightmare On My Street"

(V1.)
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 home when I'm awake but he shows up when I sleep,
I can't believe that there's a nightmare on my street/

(V2.)
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 bumrushed the movies/
I got Stacey, Jerry got Gina,
Daddy-O got some ho I'd never seen in my life/
That was all right though cus the lady was chill,
Then we dipped to the theater set to ill/
buggin, cold havin a ball,
& something about Elm street was the movie we saw/
The way it started was decent you know nuthin 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 all right when we left/
But when I got home and laid down to sleep,
That began the nightmare, on my street/

(V3.)
Burning in my room like an oven,
My bed soaked with sweat & man was I bugging/
I checked the clock and it stopped at 12:30,
It had melted it was so damn hot, & I was thirsty/
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 nothing of it as I grabbed the remote,
I pushed the power button and then I almost choked/
When I heard this awful voice coming from me 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 screaming,
Then thought, "Oh, I get it, I must be dreaming"/
I strolled back home with a grin on my grill,
I think that since this is a dream I might as well get ill/
I walked into the house, the Big Bad K-Balls,
But Freddy killed all that noise, real talk/
He grabbed me by the 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"
