Artist: dj jazzy jeff & the fresh prince



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 groovey

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

We saw elm street and man it was def

And everything seemed all right when we left

But when I got home and laid down to sleep

That began the nightmarebut 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 went downstairs to grab some juice or a coke

Flipped the tv offand then I almost choked

When I heard this awful voice coming from behind

It said"you got my favorite letter but now you must die"

ManI ain't even wait to see who it was

Broke inside my drawers and screamed"so longcuz"

Got halfway up the block

I calmed down and stopped screaming

Then thought"ohI get itI 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 in the housethe 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 gotta lotta work hereme 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 got me all wrong

I ain't partners with nobody with nails that long

LookI'll be honest manthis team won't work

The girls won't be on youfredyour face is all burnt"

I patted him on the shouldersaid "thanks for stopping by"

Then I opened up the door and said "take care guy"

He got maddrew back his armand slashed my shirt

I laughed at firstthen thought"hold upthat hurt"

It wasn't a dreammanthis guy was for real

I said"freddyuhpalthere'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 something with fred"

He jumped on my bedwent through the covers with his claws

Tried to get mebut my alarm went off

And then silence

It was a whole new day

I thought"huhI 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
