A Nightmare On My Street
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics

Now I have a story that I'd like to tell
I am about to share a story with you

About this guy, you all know me I was scared as hell
There's this guy who terrifies me

He comes to me at night when I crawl into bed
He visits me in my dreams when I go to sleep

He's burnt up like a weenie and his name is Fred
He has severe burns and his name is Fred

He wears the same hat and sweater every single day
He never changes his hat and sweater, no matter the weather

And even if it's hot outside, he wears it anyway
He wears it regardless of the heat

He's home when I'm awake, but he shows up when I sleep
He's around when I'm awake, but appears in my dreams

I can't believe that there's a nightmare, on my street
I can't believe there's a terrifying entity haunting me

It was a Saturday evening if I remember it right
I think it happened on a Saturday evening

And we had just gotten off of tour last night
We had recently finished a tour

So the gang and I thought that it would be groovy
My friends and I thought it would be cool

If we summoned up the posse and down watched a movie
If we gathered our group and watched a movie together

I got Angie, Jeff got Tina
I paired up with Angie, and Jeff paired up with Tina

Ready Rock got some girl I've never seen in my life
Ready Rock got a girl I don't know

That was alright though, 'cause lady was chill
But it was fine because the girl was cool

Then we dipped to the theatre set to ill
Then we went to the movie theater, ready to enjoy ourselves

Buggin', cold havin' a ball
We were having a great time, full of excitement

And somethin' 'bout Elm Street was the movie we saw
We watched a movie about Elm Street

The way it started was decent
The beginning was pretty good

You know, nothin' real fancy
Nothing too extravagant

About this homeboy named Fred
It involved a guy named Fred

And this girl named Nancy
And a girl named Nancy

But, word! When it was over, I said, yo, that was def!
But man, when it ended, I exclaimed, that was cool!

And everything seemed alright when we left
Everything seemed fine as we departed

But when I got home and laid down to sleep
But when I got home and went to bed

That began the nightmare, on my street
That's when the terrifying experience on my street began

It was burnin' in my room like an oven
It felt hot in my room, like an oven

My bed soaked with sweat, and man, I was buggin'
My bed was drenched in sweat, and I was freaking out

I checked the clock, and it stopped at 12 30
I looked at the clock, and it was stuck at 12:30

It had melted it was so darn hot, and I was thirsty
The heat had caused the clock to melt, and I was thirsty

I wanted something cool to quench my thirst
I wanted a cold drink to satisfy my thirst

I thought to myself, Yo! This heat is the worst
I thought to myself, Wow! This heat is unbearable

But when I got downstairs, I noticed something was wrong
But when I went downstairs, I realized something wasn't right

I was home all alone, but the TV was on
I was the only one at home, but the TV was playing

I thought nothin' of it as I grabbed the remote
I didn't think much of it as I picked up the remote

I pushed the power button, and I then almost choked
I pressed the power button and was shocked at what I heard

When I heard this awful voice comin' from behind, it said
From behind me, I heard a terrifying voice saying

You are my favorite rapper, but now you must die!
You are my favorite rapper, but I'm going to kill you now!

Man, I ain't even wait to see who it was
I didn't even wait to find out who it was

Broke inside my drawers and screamed, so long 'cause!
I panicked and screamed, then quickly ran away

Got halfway up the block, I calmed down and stopped screamin'
After running halfway down the street, I composed myself and stopped screaming

And thought, Oh, I get it, I must be dreamin'
I then realized that it must be a dream

I strolled back home with a grin on my grill
I confidently walked back home with a smile on my face

I'm thinkin' since this is a dream, I might as well get ill
Since it's just a dream, I thought I could have some fun

I walked in the house, the big, bad, Fresh Prince
I entered the house confidently, like the cool Fresh Prince

But Freddy killed all that noise real quick
But Freddy destroyed my confidence immediately

He grabbed me by my neck and said
He grabbed me by the neck and said

Here's what we'll do. We've got a lotta work here, me and you
Here's the plan. We have a lot of work to do, you and me

The souls of your friends, you and I will claim
We will take control of the souls of your friends, you and I

You've got the body, and I've got the brains.
You have the physical presence, and I bring the intellectual power

I said, yo, Fred. I think you've got me all wrong
I told Fred, hey, you have misunderstood me

I ain't partners with nobody with nails that long
I don't partner with anyone who has such long nails

Look, I'll be honest man, this team won't work
To be honest, this partnership won't succeed

The girls won't be yours, Fred, your face is all burnt
The girls won't be interested in you, Fred, because of your burnt face

Fred got mad and his head started steamin'
Fred became angry, and steam started coming out of his head

But I thought what the hell, I'm only dreamin'
But I figured, oh well, it's just a dream

I said, please leave Fred, so I can get some sleep
I politely asked Fred to leave so that I could rest

But gimme a call, and maybe we'll hang out next week
But give me a call, and maybe we can spend time together next week

I pat him on the shoulder, say, Thanks for stoppin' by.
I patted him on the shoulder and said, Thanks for visiting.

Then I opened up the door and said, Take care, guy!
Then I opened the door and bid him farewell

He got mad, threw back his arm, and slashed my shirt
He became angry, swung his arm, and ripped my shirt

I laughed at first, then thought, Hold up, that hurt
I initially laughed, but then realized it actually hurt

It wasn't a dream, man, this guy was for real
This wasn't a dream, this guy was actually there

I said, Freddy, uh, uh, there's been an awful mistake here.
I told Freddy, hey, there has been a terrible misunderstanding

No further words, and then I darted upstairs
Without saying anything else, I quickly ran upstairs

Crashed through my door then jumped on my bed
I forcefully entered my room, then leaped onto my bed

Pulled the covers up over my head and said
I pulled the covers up over my head and said

Oh please, do somethin' with Fred!
Please, do something about Fred!

He jumped on my bed and threw the covers with his claws
He jumped onto my bed and ripped the covers with his claws

Tried to get me but my alarm went off. and then
He tried to grab me, but then my alarm went off

Silence
Everything went quiet

It was a whole new day, I thought
It was a new day, I thought to myself

Heh, I wasn't scared of him, anyway
I wasn't scared of him, after all

Until I noticed those rips in my sheets
But then I saw the tears in my sheets

And that was proof that there had been a nightmare, on my street
And that was evidence that a nightmare had occurred on my street

Oh man, I gotta call Jeff, I gotta call Jeff
Oh man, I need to call Jeff, I have to tell Jeff
