Now I have a story that I'd like to tell

About this 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 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

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 done rushed the movie

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 buggin cold havin a ball

Somethin about Elm st. was the movie we saw

The way it started was decent you know nuthin real fancy

About this homeboy named fred 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, but on my street

It was burning in my room like an oven

My bed soaked with sweat And man I was bugging

I checked the clock and it stopped at 12:30

It had melted it was so darn hot And I was thirsty

I wanted something cool to quench my thirst

I thought to myself yo this heaters 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 off it as I grabbed the remote

I pushed the power button and then I almost choked

When I heard this awful voice coming from behind It said,
