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

About this guy, you all know me I was scared as hell

He comes to me at night when 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 off of tour last night

So the gang and I thought that it would be groovy

If we summoned up the posse and down watch a movie

I got Angie, Jeff got Tina

Ready Rock got some girl I've never seen in my life

That was alright though, 'cuz lady was chill

Then we dipped to the theatre 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, nothin' real fancy

About this homeboy named Fred

And this girl named Nancy

But, word! When it was over, I said,
