Scraping on the wall, yeah you know the sparks will ricochet Casting a shadow that's about 12 feet Arms stretched out to both sides of Elm Street Face full of scars, now he's got ya blood thickening What he's 'bout to do in your dreams, quite sickening When you see the red and green, man, you better wake up Freddie's bringing nightmares, your only hope's to stay up I see him over there and murder is his passion Tell me, are you ready for Freddie? Because he's coming If you're really ready for Freddie, then start running A living nightmare, you know he's gonna slash 'em Tell me, are you ready for Freddie? Because he's coming If you're really ready for Freddie, then start running Tina's on the ceiling, Rod is left hanging He burst out of Jesse and he left his chest banging He gets into your dreams with an evil aura Moving in the shadows, all you see is a fedora Forget Jason, only aiming a machete The one that you're facing, yeah his name is Freddie You really can't stop him, twisted pure evil You can warn the world, but nobody will believe you I see him over there and murder is his passion Tell me, are you ready for Freddie? Because he's coming If you're really ready for Freddie, then start running A living nightmare, you know he's gonna slash 'em Tell me, are you ready for Freddie?
