Karaoké Nightmare On My Street 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 an' sweater every single day

And even if it's hot outside he wears it anyway

He's gone when I'm awake but he shows up when I'm '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 movies

I got Angie Jeff got Tina

Ready Rock got some girl

I've never seen in my life

That was alright though 'cos the lady was chill

Then we dipped to the theater 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 Freddy and dis girl named Nancy

But word when it was over

I said Yo that was def

And everything seemed alright when we left

But when I got home and laid down to sleep

That began the nightmare on my street

It was burning in my room like an oven

My bed soaked wit' sweat and man I was buggin'

I checked the clock it had stopped at twelve thirty

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 heat is 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' of it as I grabbed the remote

I pushed the power button then I almost choked

When I heard this awful voice comin' from behind

It said you cut off David Leno and now you must die

Man I ain't even wait to see who it was

Broke outside in my drawers and screamed so long 'cos

Got halfway up the block

I calmed down and stopped screamin' and thought

Oh, I get it

I must be dreamin'

I strolled 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 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 a lotta work here me and you

The souls of your friends you and I will claim

You've got the body and I've got the brains

I said yo Fred I think you've got me all wrong

I ain't partners wit' nobody wit' nails dat long

Look I'll be honest man this team won't work

The girls won't be on you Fred your face is all burnt

Fred got mad and his head started steamin'

But I thought what the hell

I'm only dreamin'

I said please leave Fred so I can get some sleep

But gimme a call and maybe we'll hang out next week

I pat him on the shoulder said thanks for stoppin' by

Then I opened up the door and said take care guy

He got mad drew 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, pal there'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

Sayin', oh please do somethin' wit' Fred

He jumped on my bed went through the covers with his claws

Tried to get me but my alarm went off

And then silence it was a whole new day

I thought hu hu

I 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

Ah man I gotta call Jeff

I gotta call Jeff

Come on, come on

Come on Jeff, answer

Come on man

Jeff, it's Prince, wake up

Jeff, wake up, Jeff, wake up

Jeff wake up

Man, listen to me, Jeff

Jeff, listen

Would you listen to me

Whatever you do don't fall asleep

Jeff, listen to me

Don't go to sleep

Jeff Jeff Jeff
