Now I have a story that I'd like to tell about this guy you all know, the every 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 [C] anyway.
He's on one on the way, but he shows up when I'm sleeping in [E] my street.
It
[C]
[N] was Saturday evening if I remember it right, and we had just gotten both up to it last night.
So the gang and I thought that it would be groovy if we [E] summed up the posse and dumb
brushed the movie.
I got Angie, Jeff got Gina, Freddie rocked me with some girl I'd never [C] seen in my life.
That was alright though cause the lady was chill.
Then we dipped to the theater [G#m] set, got ill, buggin', cold, havin' a ball.
[B] And something about Elm Street was the movie we saw, the way it started was decent, you
know, nothing real crazy about this homeboy named Fred and this girl named Angie.
But word when it was over, I said, yo that was death.
And everything seemed alright when we left, but when I got home and laid down to sleep,
[E] that began the nightmare on my street.
[C]
[E]
[C]
[E] It was burning in my room like an oven, my bedsoap was sweatin', man I was [C] pluggin'.
I checked the clock, it had stopped at 1230, it had melted, it was so darn hot, [E] and 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, [C] I noticed something was wrong.
[E] I was home all alone, but the TV was on.
Forgot nothin' of it, as I grabbed the remote, I pushed the power button, and then almost
choked [C] when I heard this awful voice coming from behind.
[C#] It said, you are the best in the [E] world and now you must die.
Man, I ain't even wait to see who it was, broke inside my drawers and screamed so long cuz.
[C] Got halfway up the block, I calmed down and stopped screaming and thought, oh I did [E] it,
I must be saving.
I drove back home with a grin on my grill, I figured since this is a dream, I might as
well get ill.
I walked in the house, the big bad fresh kid, already killed all that noise real quick.
He grabbed me by my neck and said, here's what this, you got a lot of work to do, me
and you, the souls of the friends you and [G] 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.
[C] Look, I'll be honest man, this team won't work, the girls won't be on you, Fred, your
face is all burned.
[E] Fred got mad and his head started steaming, but I thought, what the hell, I'm only dreaming.
I said, please leave Fred so I can get some sleep, but give me a call, maybe we'll hang
out next week.
I pat him on the shoulder, said thanks for stopping by, then I opened up the door and
said, take care guy, he got mad, threw back his arm and slashed my shirt.
I laughed at first, then thought, hold up, that hurt, it wasn't a dream man, this guy
was for real.
I said, Freddy, uh, how's it been at all for the state?
Yeah, [C] no further words, and then I got it upstairs, crashed through my door, then jumped
on my bed, [E] pulled the covers up over my head, said, oh please do something with Fred.
He jumped on my bed, put through the covers, with his claws, tried to get me, but my alarm
went off [C] and then silence.
It was a whole new day, [C#m] I thought, I wasn't scared of him anyway, until I noticed those
rips [E] in my sheets, and that was proof that there had been a nightmare on my street.
[C] I'm gonna call Jeff, I'm gonna call Jeff, [Am] come [E] on, come on, [A] come on, come on Jeff, answer,
come on. Hello?
[E] Jeff, it's Freddy, Jeff, wake up, Jeff, Jeff, [C] wake up man, listen to me, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff,
would you listen to me, whatever you [Em] do, don't fall asleep, Jeff, listen to me, don't go
to sleep, [C] Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, [Em] Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff,
